<div dir="ltr">Our consortium uses Syndetics (Proquest product) and we have much the same experience. It's so hit or miss. Sometimes we'll request an updated cover and it's done in a few days, but more often than not, it's literally 6 months or more. I'm wondering if this service is just not as important to these vendors that provide so many other services that it's not paid enough attention to. Regardless, it IS service they are supposed to provide, so support it!<div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><img src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4y44qSWrBhGjKs9a3JDgm3D0kulOrUMrSYxOtB-3WrXdtE67SX9fTIBchZv3QMgrB-59UFJ71M"><br></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 3, 2023 at 9:52 AM Frasur, Ruth via Evergreen-general <<a href="mailto:evergreen-general@list.evergreen-ils.org">evergreen-general@list.evergreen-ils.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-762260560770533254">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, is anyone else tracking all the stale cover art that they come across through Content Cafe? I'm getting frustrated with it because the B&T content cafe support staff have stopped responding to my emails about the issues, and none
of the reported issues ever get resolved. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a list of 20 isbn's with pre-pub images, 102 with no image, 4 with back cover image, and one with a sideways image.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We started reporting the problems to them in April 2023. Apparently their Redis cache that backs the XML request method that Evergreen makes use of never expires images once they are initially loaded. I can rule out Evergreen's caching
having anything to do with it by placing the request directly using the Postman service. <u></u><u></u></p>
