Ideas to make SearchLIT.org the defacto starting point for reading on the web!

• Feedback
• Expand this section to include paraphrase (fair use) and public domain words (from Google book search)
• Need Marianne and crew to populate

• From Marianne

- description of how grade levels and reading levels are determined. Also for an example, http://www.SearchLIT.org/elibrary/viewtext.php?text_id=7375:
Why reading level is 6.6 and grades are 10-11. CORRECT?

• Google Book Search
• Need a browse page with all our books indexed here
• Can we legally make a CD of the Google texts?

• Start developing an internship program
• Confirm everything on the site is complete and accurate

Big Idea

We could print books from Google or other sources based on requests

• Freely send to people in need (explain situation/ quantity)
• Ask for donations to cover expense
• Great PR
• Helps to answer ? *Why would you donate to GK?*

• Tie in with Amazon for donations
• donations banner?

Site needs:

• use big roll-over (from book) for more "in-depth" description

New text field:

• Setting, including country

Volunteers

Subject drill down. Use "transportation" as an example:

Frame of pop-up on book site to "save a page" e-mails user. (other links as well)
