Hi George: I've mentioned this before, but Evergreen 2.0, released in late January, by default uses OpenLibrary for covers and tables of contents. (I _think_ TOCs are still working; haven't checked since I added the code quite some time ago!) There aren't many sites that I know of using Evergreen 2.0 yet, and those that do adopt Evergreen 2.0 have the option of using an added content provider like Syndetic instead of OpenLibrary, but you can expect more sites to adopt Evergreen 2.0. We (Conifer consortium of Ontario academic and special libraries running Evergreen) plan to start using OpenLibrary for our covers in May. Note to self: Provide a link from Evergreen to the pertinent OpenLibrary page to enable users to easily flag problematic covers / edit tables of contents / etc. Dan _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
