Furthur on this and reading a bit more into MARC it looks like the
information would go into MARC Field 024 with a source of 8. If there
was a defined Standard Identifier for Openlibrary then the source would
be 7 with the defined Standard Identifier for Openlibrary, but there isn't.
I'm straying into Real Librarian Territory here and I'm starting to feel
a little lost (I'm really just a programmer). If the person who wrote
the code for fetching covers from Openlibrary is around I'd be grateful
if they could confirm/deny what their code does (or even point me to
where I could look it up myself). To this end I've copied in the Koha
Development community.
Or I may be barking up an entirely wrong tree. In which case feel free
to say "Down boy, down".

If at all possible I'd like to be able to display the cover using the
OLID (OL49198571M) but I'm not sure where to put it.
Thanks

I'm using the Openlibrary cover facility to display covers in my OPAC
and it generally works very well (in the case where the cover doesn't
exist in Openlibrary I scan and upload it). However, if the Biblio
record doesn't have an ISBN or LCCN the cover lookup fails
(obviously). Is there any way of recording the Openlibrary ID (OLID)
in a Biblio record so that the cover lookup will work, even if there
is no ISBN or LCCN?
I've done a (fairly cursory) scan of the documentation but can't find
and reference to where I should put the OLID so that Koha will look up
the cover even if there is no ISBN or LCCN. Of course the facility may
not exist, in which case I'd be grateful for confirmation from Someone
Who Knows.
Many thanks
