Hi all, I am considering to use KOHA in a project, and on the list of features I did not see that you can generate a picture catalog of the items in the inventory. Can some explain if it can? Thanks, //Agron
It sounds like you're looking for a digital library application - unless you're asking if the OPAC shows pictures of book jackets. If that's what you want, there are several options in Koha (Google, Amazon, Synetics, Baker & Taylor, LIbraryThing, and Babeltheque). --- Nicole C.

I am not sure I understand. What is Koha? Is it a digital library application or OPAC? Basically, I would like Koha to generate a list of books I have in the library, but I would like to see the book jacket pictures together with titles. Also, can I add my own pictures for books that amazon or google don't know about? -----Original Message----- From: Nicole Engard [mailto:nicole.engard@liblime.com] Sent: Tue 7/14/2009 11:30 AM To: Selimaj, Agron Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Does it generate picture catalog?

No, try Kete: http://kete.net.nz
or OPAC?
Yes, as part of being an ILS.
Basically, I would like Koha to generate a list of books I have in the library, but I would like to see the book jacket pictures together with titles.
A "list" would be useless at any appreciable size. You don't want to load 5000 items when you only want a particular one or three. Wouldn't you want to search the list for a given term, or by type, or by author, or by titls or by date added? Wouldn't you want additional details available on a separate page? That's what the OPAC interface provides, amongst other things. If you really just want a list, try something like Delicious Monster: http://delicious-monster.com/
Also, can I add my own pictures for books that amazon or google don't know about?
Not directly. Instead you add the image to some external server (we don't care where) and add the image URL to the catalog data. --Joe

Argon -- I am unsure what you are asking. Perhaps you want the "shelf browser" with one of the jacket image providers enabled? This would show the titles that would appear "next to" a given book on the shelf, on the details page for that book. Koha does not "generate" any images except possibly barcodes. But it does integrate with other providers of enhanced content for visual features like jacket images. -- Joe Atzberger LibLime - Open Source Library Solutions 2009/7/14 Selimaj, Agron <selimaja@kihbd.com>
