[Koha-devel] [Koha] Where would I put the OpenLibrary ID in the MARC record

[David Cook]

That's great news, Nigel! I'm really happy that worked out.

Have you looked at koha-testing-docker? https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker

You could do the development work on there and then wait/hope for it to flow down to your version?

Well, to my surprise LOC got back to me today and said they had added Open Library to the SISC list.

https://loc.gov/marc/relators/tn230808src.html

So we now have a standardised way to add OLIDs to a MARC record

024 7 _ | $2 openlib | $a <OLID>

And that means I can have a look at adding OLIDs to the cover art retrieval from Open Library... which means dusting off my... erk... 
javascript. Which means sorting out sympa so I can get Koha up to date...
