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

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

Revisiting this .... I've started adding titles & covers to OpenLibrary 
(particularly for local small-press items) but I'm not necessarily 
seeing all of them appear in my v2.8.2 catalog.

I presumed it was based on an ISBN lookup, and verified that the first 
ISBN listed in my EG records matched the ISBN in the OL records.  I 
can't figure out a common thread between the ones displaying and not 
displaying.

In addition, sometimes images will display in a results list and then 
not in the record itself, while other times images will display in both 
the results list and the record.

If anyone has any tips/tricks I'd appreciate it :)

A.
