[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Better option for cover art?

[Janet Schrader]

CWMARS uses Content Cafe (B&T) and I'm satisfied with their service.  A few
years ago, after non-responses when I reported an incorrect cover, I
contacted one of the sales reps. Now I have a direct email address to the
cover images department. I usually get a response the same day or within 24
hours. I send screenshots of the wrong cover and the correct one. I think
sometimes they use the screenshot I send if it's an older title.

A little off topic, but what frustrates me most about changing the cover
image is caching. Sometimes if I find a different UPC or ISBN or if there
are several ISBNs in the record, I suppress the first set to see if the
second (or third) ISBNs link to the right cover. I have to clear the cache
and refresh the page in order to see if there's a change. I also click on
the "Clear added content cache" link although I'm not sure if that's
necessary. Many releases ago, I think prior to 2.7, the change was
immediate. Caching is a very frustrating for me.
