We have a collection of art objects/photos on our local implementation, and 
for many objects, the thumbnail that appears on the search results page is 
taken from the last image of the entry, rather than the first one (for 
example a detail of the feet rather than of the whole work). This is a 
problem, because art historians find information by looking at images, and 
so we have carefully selected which is the first image, in order to 
generate the most helpful thumbnail. Now, on the search results page, you 
are more likely to see a secondary image (the building in which a sculpture 
is located or feet, or another odd detail of a sculpture), which makes it 
difficult to use the database for visual research. The odd thing is that 
when you click on the entry, the thumbnail on the individual object page is 
taken from the first image of the entry. So for example on this search page:

https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/discover?scope=1974/14832&rpp=10&page=6&query=Image&group_by=none&etal=0

 
And then the individual entries:
   
   - https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/handle/1974/24713
   - https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/handle/1974/24700
   - https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/handle/1974/24701
   
Has anyone come across this previously and have any advice as to how to 
correct this?


Thanks,
