Hi all, Oue I.T. dept have installed Koha and I am just ttesting it out at the moment. I was just wondering if you can upload bookcovers so that they can be viewed in OPAC and also if it is possible to upload PDFs files for access in OPAC also? Many thanks Joanne Callinan Librarian.

Hi Joanne,

Regarding book covers I don't know. Concerning PDF files in general, I think you can't. Koha is not a digital library per se, so it does not on its own let you store files. Yuu may want to use it in conjunction with tools such as Kete, D-space or others I'm not aware of but someone else may suggest. Hope this helps, Sébastien.
Neither can be done without some messing around of the code. That said, several have asked to be able to add their own book jackets so it sounds like something you should all get together and code - or sponsor :) As for PDFs - you can upload them to your server and then put the links in the 856u field - that will add a link to the MARC record to the PDF. --- Nicole C.
