https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41186 Bug ID: 41186 Summary: Koha to check multiple sources for book cover images Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: cgresser@jesuit.org.uk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org One can ask Koha to allow for multiple cover images, but this can look very messy, and for a lot of our older books (pre-2000?) there are no covers. It would be great if Koha could 1. Only display one cover, but from multiple, possible sources. 2. Look on the internet for other possible images. 3. Cover images to be a a reportable feature. I.e. you run a report and get a list of books without covers. 4. For an option to fix lack of covers by batch jobs. I know the above are big asks, but think about how much better Koha OPACs and our collections would look like? The end user might think that Koha isn't "good enough". Maybe the solution is that all cover images need to be stored locally, and then Koha uses the local database of images? The above comes from a librarian who has nearly no knowledge of coding, but 20+ years of experience with library users. As things stand at the moment, it might look neater for us to turn _all_ cover images off. I appreciate that if you only ever buy books from Amazon, and only have popular books (or fiction) this is not a problem, but for a specialist, academic collection like ours this problem will only get worse the more books we are adding. Currently 100k of 250k of volumes are catalogued! Help! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
