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

Tue Feb 18 10:34:47 EST 2020

We used Syndetics previously and always had a good response for cover image corrections.  It usually helped to describe what cover you were (or weren’t) seeing and provide a link to the correct image; that tended to speed correction time.

While we’re talking cover images:  is anyone here using NoveList, and, if so, do you have a contact for getting cover image updates?

In the past, I have also had good response from Syndetics.

Also, I met a representative at NCLA this year from ChiliFresh ( https://home.chilifresh.com/en/products/book-jacket-cover-art<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhome.chilifresh.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fbook-jacket-cover-art&data=02%7C01%7Cmstroup%40statelibrary.sc.gov%7Cb45062cc54a248c3091908d7af3c4100%7Ce9f8d01480d84f27b0d6c3d6c085fcdd%7C1%7C0%7C637170545643287898&sdata=18xmnYg0J1oxPkECZhzxKaqaVhRMzA0lwjzD82lkdqA%3D&reserved=0> ) .  They provide discovery services and they also provide book jacket cover art for a flat annual rate as a standalone service.  I don't have personal experience with them but it might be worth investigating.

Missouri Evergreen uses Syndetics and are pretty happy with them. I will say that if an email is sent about the artwork being incorrect, they aren't the most prompt at following through. However, the vast majority is correct.
