We find the book cover images useful for new users in making the lists more attractive to the eye. These work fine when we are including physical books on the list, but as we are increasingly moving to an e-first policy the ISBN no longer has a cover image attached to it in Nielsen bookdata. Could the options here be made more flexible? For example, could we give another ISBN for the cover image?
Sad to see this move to the backlog. As a North American library, we don't use Nielsen book data, so even for physical books it can't locate the cover images. I would love to be able to choose a default (we use Syndetics in our catalog and the lookup is by ISBN) but also with the ability to not just change the ISBN but change the entire URL per item.
Hi Ian, apologies for the late reply. We have discussed this with our technical team and will move this to the backlog to assess in the future. Best, Georgia
Hi Ian,
Thanks so much for your input!
As we are moving towards integrating instead with your own discovery systems, I will raise a question next week to investigate success rates of eBooks with cover images for any improvement, or alternatives as you've suggested.
Regards
Kate
