[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Adding BookCovers to Evergreen ILS

[Geoff Sams]

We have some folks who I’ve encouraged to start doing this within our consortium, to great effect.  It’s also been helpful with that handful of incorrect images here and there.

I’m also toying with the manually hosted option as well.

Thanks,

We are currently on 2.8.1. We have observed that a lot of titles appear in the catalog without book jacket images. It is configured to use from OpenLibrary book covers. How can we add multiple service providers like Librarything for images in Evergreen ILS. Is there any way to add the book image manually if the service providers do not the item in their database

You can add the book image (and book entry, if necessary) to OpenLibrary and make the database better for everyone! You can create a free account, log in, and click "Add a cover image" on entries like https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16042192W/Collaborative_communities to then upload a cover image.
