[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Icons of book cover pictures

[Brandon W. Uhlman]

Chris:

A better long-term solution might be to write a new added content  
driver that serves locally managed content (primarily, I would wager,  
cover art). Take a look at  
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/src/perlmods/OpenILS/WWW/AddedContent/ to see the current added content  
drivers.
