        In addition to the main list, the site includes thematic sublists, sample cover art, Open WorldCat "Find in a Library" links, comparisons to other lists, and data files available for downloading in popular Excel format.
        <P>As with the 2004 edition, visitors can view all 1,001 ranked titles or any of a baker's dozen different sublists, including banned books, biography, books made into films, children's books, drama, fiction, librarianship, music, poetry, and others. </P>
    <P>Cover art and links to local libraries are available for most titles. Viewers can read about the project, including how the list was developed and key points of interest about the items on the list. A list of runners up provides a peek at works that barely missed the cut.</P>
