NOTES:
Project Gutenberg Australia total does NOT include PGAu eBooks posted at the
U.S. site: www.gutenberg.org
We have several counting methods, and they often differ by several books
that we have to hunt down by hand to reconcile. There is also some
duplication between these various collections. Volunteers will need to take
these duplications into account.
The totals for the four collections are eBooks that originated as created,
edited, proofread, formatted, etc., by Project Gutenberg and its 50,000
volunteers, while the Project Gutenberg Consortia Center with 100,000+ books
contains entire eBook collections from 125+ eLibraries so the production
statistics given here are for some 20,000+ eBooks created by the various
teams of Project Gutenberg volunteers, for which we share the responsibility
of maintaining. The Consortia Center eBooks were and are the responsibility
of the donating eLibraries, and we would be happy to forward any suggestions
for correction to those eLibraries, but those eBooks must be edited by the
donating parties, as per their requests.
=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=[ OTHER STATISTICS ]=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=
SNAIL MAIL (DVD & CD)
Over 15 million eBooks have been sent out via snail mail!!!
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS:
9,xxx [+xx] at Distributed Proofreaders
The Distributed Proofreaders started production in October 2000 and
currently has over 36,000 volunteers.
For more complete DP statistics, visit:
http://www.pgdp.net/c/stats/stats_central.php
NOTE: PGDP mostly included in US eBooks
NOTE: PGEU has its own Distributed Proofreaders whose total closely matches
their grand total.
PGCC - PROJECT GUTENBERG CONSORTIA CENTER REPORT
137,142 eBooks at PGCC
The PGCC collection at http://www.gutenberg.cc has doubled in size from the
listings below, but we don't have exactly matching collection sizes yet for a
new breakdown.
There are ~185,000 separate downloadable files, and presuming 45% are
redundant or are required at the level of more than one file per book:
The number of individual eBooks now is about 100,000.
Thus the grand total of eBooks at Project Gutenberg is 21,000+ created by
Project Gutenberg volunteers, and 100,000 donated from over 125 other
eLibraries, to create a downloadable library of 100,000+ eBooks plus 80,000
donated from over 100 other eLibraries, to create a downloadable library of
100,000+ eBooks.
PGCC's current eBook and eDocument Collections listings of 18 collections with
this week's listing as:

=======Grand Total Files======= ~137,142 Total Files ========
Average Size of the Collections 8,067.18 Total Files
DAILY PREPRINTS
378 [+ 0] at Daily PrePrints
Stats available at: http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that sometimes it takes a few weeks for entire collections to fully
appear in the PrePrints Section, thus the count sometimes jumps by a large
number when the files are eventually completed and added in. Also note that the
PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move later to other
locations, including the main collection or The Project Gutenberg Consortia
Center, etc. For example, on June 14, 200 WAP compatible cell phone eBooks
appeared, and will likely be moved to other collection points later.
The entire process of working out the details just to send them to the PrePrints
Section took well over a month.
Even with the speeded up process of the PrePrints Section, it still takes a
certain amount of time to collect and put such a large collection online in a
proper manner.
THE ONLINE BOOKS PAGE
25,000 eBooks are listed via The Online Books Page
NOTE: 6,300 of these are from PG.
INTERNET PUBLIC LIBRARY
22,284 entries at IPL
The Internet Public Library (IPL) had a similar listing to The Online Books Page
which is now in limbo. If anyone knows what is happening with the IPL, please
let us know. Inquiries, made months ago, and again recently, have not turned up
any current information.
You can try a new IPL service at:
http://www.ipl.org/div/subject/browse/hum60.60.00/
It would appear that The Internet Public Library ended its first incarnation
with about 22,284 entries, which has now been surpassed by the Online Books
Page.
We are still looking for more Internet Public Library info.

(David Price, For those wishing to know: James Crabb (1774-1851) became
passionately interested in the welfare of the English Gypsies when in
March 1827 he witnessed a distressed Gypsy family whose father was about
to be executed. From this and his religious motives he started to work
for the bettering of the conditions of the Gypsies. His main work was
via the Southampton Committee and this book, written in 1831, gives an
account of the early days of this work. A fair amount of background
information is also given about the Gypsies.)

The latest survey of online learning by the Sloan Consortium reported that about 3.2 million students took at least one online course from a degree-granting institution in fall 2005, double the number who did in 2002. The report, issued jointly by the Sloan Consortium and the College Board, defines an online course as one in which at least 80 percent of the content is delivered over the Internet. The rate of growth of online students slowed from 2003 to 2004 despite a continuing upward trend. In contrast, only one in four academic leaders said their faculty have embraced online education, a number that has persisted through four surveys.
[People in these countries pay only 2c per minute. Internet prices are comparably low]Market researcher iSuppli claims that the number of mobile phone subscribers worlwide will hit 2.6 billion this year and 4 billion by 2010, largely because of ultra-low-cost handsets. The growth in users is driven by new subscribers in developing nations like India and China, along with Africa and the Middle East, said Dale Ford, vice president of market intelligence for iSuppli.
More than three-fourths of Web visitors to large U.S. Web sites such as Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo come from overseas. The three companies are among 14 of the top 25 U.S. Web sites that draw more foreign traffic than U.S.-based traffic, according to market research company ComScore Networks. In 10 years, the U.S. share of the world's online population reportedly has fallen from 64 percent to less than 25 percent, although U.S. Web surfers evidently visit more pages each.
