Kia ora koutou,
Just to let you know that Melissa found the required support for
funding this enhancement to Koha, and development is now underway.
Many thanks to the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants, Region
Halland libraries (Sweden), South Taranaki District Libraries (NZ), NZ
Education Institute and Libriotech of (Norway) for your contributions.
Despite being on directly opposite sides of the globe from each other,
we all want the same things :)
Wishing you all a lovely day,
Kathryn

Hello everyone,
My name is Melissa Clarkson and I am the Team Leader of the Library
at the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants. We have been
on
Koha for 2 ½ years.
We have started scanning book cover images that are not available
from Amazon to have them available in our OPAC and also our current
awareness bulletin. They display great in the bulletin, but in the
OPAC it creates formatting issues and looks plain ugly.
I have approached Catalyst IT in Wellington New Zealand about this
issue, and they have advised that it will take 28 hours. They will
work through the bug that is creating this issue. The outcome will be
that we can use multiple sources to get the book covers from,
including local images uploaded in to Koha. I can't justify paying
for
all of this given it is 28 hours, so I'm coming to the community to
see if you would be interested in contributing to a joint development
of this.
If you are interested, please respond by email by 4 June 2014, with
how many hours you'd be able to contribute to this development.
Thank you in advance
Melissa
