   Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to balance ease-of-creation and concise output with a comprehensive suite of options (that all require display considerations with other items). So I want to let certain items be part of a book's site and not part of this database.

   • I like the info on the current release, and the ISBN number.
   • I think information on previous releases should be maintained on the book's site. This is more meant as a snapshot of right now, not so much of a historical record. We could make a binary flag "Old Editions Available"? (For FCLA, I call it the "Museum.")
   • IBL always strikes me as a bit math-centric. The medical sciences use "Problem-Based Learning (PBL)". How about an umbrella term like "Active Learning"? Something that will work across disciplines?
   • Contributors, like for CTGD, are a close call. I didn't feel like I needed to be listed for AATA -- folks who use it will find out on the title page. But for you three it was a much bigger job. I'd suggest using the description blurb to include that information (besides the actual site for the book).

   Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to let these pile up before implementing a bunch all at once in a big push.
