Cover's image in documents without ISBN

Best regards,

¿If I have a document without ISBN, how I can link its cover image?. This happens in many cases (maps, CD's, brochures, etc.).

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,

Hi! I currently don't have access to our database this weekend, so I don't know if this will work. But for the meantime, how about you try this idea:

In the ISBN portion of the item without ISBN, enter NOISBN1
If you have the book cover image, make sure it's a jpg and rename it NOISBN1.jpeg
Place it in NGL302/BookCovers directory

Unless the system just accepts numbers in the filename, it may work. You can then enter succeeding items as NOISBN2, NOISBN3, etc.
If this don't work, we'll just have to wait for the admin for the official workaround...

I would like to suggest the addition of a new/unique/local field for the no isbn books covers.

For example 99x field or something else.Marc fields range gives us a lot of options.

So when the book has no isbn and we can't have the relation between 020$a and the cover, we may add the new field 99x, where we can type something like Pedro said NOISBN1 etc and then place the relevant image to the cover's folder.

In short terms the system may work as below:

If 020$a has ISBN --> show cover
If 020$a doesn't exist --> call the field 99x$a --> show cover
If 020$a doesn't exist and 99x$a doesn't exist --> no cover

I suggest this idea because many libraries may don't appreciate their ISBN information in the webopac to display NOISBN1, NOISBN2 etc.

Hi, the current nightly build 18Oct2011, has the facility to upload book covers. From "Search Catalogue" you can select a catalogue record and upload Book cover, Table of Contents, Preview, Full View and other attachments.

A book with no ISBN may have another identifying number, like LC Catalog number or OCLC number. I'm not sure if the sites that NGL uses as sources for book covers support searching thru those numbers, though.

Hi,
Every catalogue record in NGL has a unique ID. Book cover images uploaded are stored with this Id.

Currently the sites that are offering the book covers service are only allowing a query based ISBN.
