Chris, there's no manual way of associating an on-hand image with a
given bib record currently (*).  Evergreen has an "added content"
service that can communicate with 3rd party sources like Amazon,
OpenLibrary, Syndetics, and Content Cafe, which take the ISBN for a
title and return an image based on that.

* It may be possible to manually insert images into whatever setup
mod_cache and Apache uses, but it'd be a kludge and probably not fun
to maintain.
