Yes... UPEI programmer, Alex O'Neill, has done this in his VM evergreen image. I expect it will be live @ http://islandpines.roblib.upei.ca soon.
We're using Google book covers and adding a "tab" to the full record based on whether further content is available or not. Alex my pipe in.... F. Grant Johnson Systems Coordinator Robertson Library University of Prince Edward Island >>> Lynne Welch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/01/08 4:55 PM >>> I just came across this blog posting http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2008/09/book-search-everywhere-with-new.html and was wondering if such a thing would work in the Evergreen PAC, and how difficult it would be to implement? We used to contract for Syndetic to provide book covers and summaries/reviews and our readers really enjoyed being able to carry a mental image of the cover to the shelf, but Syndetic's quality control left quite a bit to be desired; links frequently led to the wrong items. This is billed as "an open set of APIs," which leads me to believe it *may* work, but then again I'm still trying to understand some of the underlying differences between a Windows-based system (our current ILS) and an open-source one such as Evergreen. Technical details, if anyone would care to investigate, are here: http://code.google.com/apis/books/ Lynne, intrigued by the concept but sadly uninformed as to the practicalities <g> Lynne Welch Herrick Memorial Library Wellington OH USA
