Hi Koustabha,
If we are going to keep information in a MARC field, why not put the
file name directly. That way, it doesn't have to be only a number, I
could have HarryPotter_V1.jpg or even a remote path.
I looked up the MARC standard and it would make sense to store the path
to the file in the 856$u field, specifying Image (or Cover) in the $3
field. There is such an example in
http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad856.html.
*856*
*4#**$3*image*$u*http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/vinci/joconde/joconde.jpg
A syspref could also be added for a base directory in which are located
the files.
My 2 cents,
Eric

Hi Koustubha
That's a great feature to add to Koha. Congratulations on this.
The only part that I worry about is using the bibliomumber for access: If
you were to ever re-install and wanted to export the bib data and re-import
then you would be likely to get different biblionumbers for records, so you
would lose the link to the images.
I would have thought that there should be some unique number or code for
each title which you might put into a tag such as the 024 MARC21 tag (Other
Standard Identifier):
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd024.html
Maybe have the tag and subfield as a system pref?
Valid point about the export and re-import and a good idea of linking
with a marc tag. Thank you.
