As far as I know, we don’t use UPCs for books in Australia. Looking at my bookshelf now to see if I have any American books. All the Australian, Canadian, and European books I have only use ISBN barcodes.
Sorry for a total lack of help : ) David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Direct: 02 8005 0595 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barton Chittenden Sent: Wednesday, 31 January 2018 11:19 AM To: Koha-devel <[email protected]> Subject: [Koha-devel] Cover image lookup via UPC I've been trying to find out whether pulling cover images via Universal Product Code would be possible from Amazon and Google. I did some digging; we're doing this via Syndetics and Baker & Taylor already, so the groundwork is already partially laid: Bug 14607 : Make Baker & Taylor cover images accessible by UPC as well as ISBN URL : https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14607 Priority : P5 - low Assigned To : [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Urgency : enhancement Status : CLOSED Bug 15388 : Show Syndetics covers by UPC in search results URL : https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15388 Priority : P5 - low Assigned To : [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Urgency : enhancement Status : RESOLVED What little googling I've done for Amazon seems to indicate that they have the ability to look up items and their product images via UPC, although I'm not clear if that's available across all locales. I haven't looked at Google yet. I haven't see any bugs filed for this -- has anyone else done any research on using UPC lookup for Amazon or Google? --Barton
