[Koha-devel] RFC : Local cover images

[Koustubha Kale]

Hi All,
I have received sponsorship from "Sikh National Archives" to add the
ability in Koha to display book covers scanned and stored locally in
the server. "Sikh National Archives" have a lot of old / rare books &
manuscripts which do not have ISBN hence this requirement.

Here are the customer requirements in brief :
1. Provide facility to upload scanned cover images linked to biblionumber.
2. Create required mysql tables to hold cover images.
3. Provide global system preference to control display of local cover
images in OPAC.
4. Create system preference to decide priority of cover images from multiple
providers such as Amazon, Google, Local.
5. Customize OPAC to display only first cover image found as per
system preference
priority.
6. Customize OPAC search and detail pages to display local cover
images linked to
biblionumber.
7. Provide user rights management to control upload of images.

I have added a RFC to wiki here :

I have added this information to Bug 1633 here :

Requesting for comments and suggestions..
