---- Reported by newdurhamlibrary@gmail.com 2008-08-22 10:44:33 ----

ISBN-13 numbers do not work with AmazonContent.  Koha appears to send only the first number in the ISBN field (the 020 field).  According to cataloging rules, that's the ISBN-13, which means that the majority of MARC records aren't able to use AmazonContent.  If there are multiple entries in the 020, Koha needs to send both entries-- or at least, the ISBN-10, which is what actually works with Amazon.

Hopefully, this will help improve the amount of Amazon content returned.

2817 has been pushed through - is this bug fixed now?

Currently, this is still a problem with pulling Amazon cover art. I was going to wait to close this until that piece has been fixed as well.

Where are we with this?

Isn't this a bug with Amazon, not Koha?



---- Additional Comments From nengard@gmail.com 2009-04-05 14:15:30 ----

Not based on what I've heard.  If we can send them both ISBNs then we can get the right images.  That said, I think there is a fix in the works.

The Amazon API does not have an option to send more than one ISBN at a time to link to an icon, or to grab any web services content.

It appears that this will require a re-write of how the links are generated, which is a fairly non-trivial operation for the icon links ...

It isn't even necessarily that Koha needs to send both ISBNs. It just needs better rules for which to send-- if there's an ISBN-13 and ISBN-10, Koha needs to send Amazon the 13.  It should only send 10s when there is no IBSN-13 issued.

Grr, I wrote the complete opposite of what I meant.  What I was trying to say:  if we could get Koha to always send the ISBN-10 over the ISBN-13, (not the other way around), Koha would get a much higher hit rate from Amazon.

I have tested this on master and i'm getting cover images if my 13 digit ISBN is first.
