(Apologies for cross-posting) I just posted a simple way to get free book covers into your OPAC. It uses the new Google Book Search API. http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/03/free-covers-for-your-library-from.php I think Google has as much cover coverage as anyone. The API is free. Most libraries pay. I'm thinking this is a big deal? We'll probably fancy it up a bit as an add-on to our LibraryThing for Libraries service, but the core idea can be implemented by anyone. I look forward to refinements. Tim -- Check out my library at http://www.librarything.com/profile/timspalding
