[Koha] Koha Development Opportunity : Display of images in OPAC from multiple sources

[Melissa Clarkson]

Hello everyone,

My name is Melissa Clarkson and I am the Team Leader of the Library at the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.  We have been on Koha for 2 ½ years.

We have started scanning book cover images that are not available from Amazon to have them available in our OPAC and also our current awareness bulletin.  They display great in the bulletin, but in the OPAC it creates formatting issues and looks plain ugly.

I have approached Catalyst IT in Wellington New Zealand about this issue, and they have advised that it will take 28 hours.  They will work through the bug that is creating this issue.  The outcome will be that we can use multiple sources to get the book covers from, including local images uploaded in to Koha.  I can't justify paying for all of this given it is 28 hours, so I'm coming to the community to see if you would be interested in contributing to a joint development of this.

If you are interested, please respond by email by 4 June 2014, with how many hours you'd be able to contribute to this development.

Thank you in advance
Melissa
