Hi David
Many thanks. I've read the documentation, created a koha bugzilla
account, created an enhancement request and assigned to myself, just to
kick this off. However, looks like the original author of the
OpenLibrary cover retrieval code (joubu) is still around so they may be
better equipped than me to deal with this. I don't want to tread on
anyone's toes.
If this isn't the right process then please let me know.
All the best and thanks to the wonderful koha community for being so
helpful.

Hi Nigel,
"I'm going to do this in a docker container" is what I say for most of my code
projects (at home and the office). So long as you're not working with SystemD, it
generally makes everything easier.
I think this wiki page might describe the process best:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_workflow
And for the practical aspect of submitting the patch, you'll want to look at
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration
Let us know if you have any issues.
Once your patch is accepted, you'll also join this list:

And that, as if by magic, answers what was to be my next question... the
koha-testing-docker instructions look comprehensive and I can try them out on my desktop,
which seems to meet the requirements. My son, when I was discussing the project with him,
said "you should do this in a docker container" and as usual he was right.
I presume that once/if I've got it working there's a submission process to get
updates back to the main Koha branch.
All the best

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?

You could send a request for an "openlibrary" code to be added to
the official Standard Identifier Source Codes list:

Honestly, I'm a little surprised there isn't already an entry for it
there. I'm sure they'd approve a request for it.
I've put in a request to the LOC. We'll see if anything comes of it.
They may request (I would do so in their place) that the request
comes from the Open Library itself in which case I'll have to chase
that route first.
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...
