Library Usage Data

Hi,

I just discovered a book usage and recommendation dataset from the
University of Huddersfield.
It is released under the Open Data Commons Licence, you can find it here:
http://library.hud.ac.uk/data/usagedata/
Guess it would be a good example for a Recommendation Engine like Taste!

Bests

I just looked into the dataset, it is really interesting since it only
contains borrowed books with a valid ISBN. Now imagine the capabilities of
datasets like this you gain by connecting via ISBN to other services. Looks
like this is a good starting point for me to play around with Taste.
