[Koha] Book jackets on your search results

[Sue McMillan]

In our previous system we used Syndetics.  When we migrated to Koha we trialed Amazon, Google and Syndetics during our installation period.

We found that Amazon provided the same number of cover images as Syndetics, but for free - in fact it was hit for hit.  Google had a lower number of hits.

The only thing I have noticed is that sometimes the Amazon images are the American cover art, rather than the Australian/NZ edition cover art though the ISBN is the same.  

As a result of our trials we have gone with Amazon images.
