I don't think any mechanism for an arbitrary jacket image target exists, so you would have to build one. <br>--joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 10:56 AM, Dibyendra Hyoju <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dibyendra@gmail.com">dibyendra@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Thank you very much for your prompt response. Our library "Madan<br>
Puraskar Pustakalaya" archives Nepali library materials. We were<br>
suggested to use the tag 866$a to store the electronic resource as a<br>
hyperlink, and we have copied the images of cover pages to our<br>
wesbite.<br>
<br>
Our record looks like follows in which a hyperlink is placed on the<br>
856$a, linking to the book cover:<br>

As we cannot find the book jackets of Nepali books on Amazon,<br>
Librarything, Google books, etc., we're scanning the book jackets<br>
ourselves and putting them on our own website. If images cannot be<br>
imported from the MARC record, It would be great if we could display<br>
the book cover from our records in some other mechanism.<br>
<br>
Also, If ISBN is mandatory for loading book jackets, there will be a<br>
problem for most of our old Nepali records which don't have ISBN. I am<br>
hopeful that there might be some other alternative way to load book<br>
covers for the records lacking ISBN.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing from you.<br>
<br>
Thanking you,<br>
