Description Jeremy Evans 2020-05-29 08:43:28 UTC
In the OPAC books have jacket images and other enrichment supplied from services such as Syndetics. However there is no enrichment displayed for serials.

We use Browzine for our Serials holdings and this is integrated into the serial records in EBSCO Discovery, which includes the addition of journal cover images.
We would like the Browzine integration to also appear in the Koha OPAC.

For a serial record in Koha if the ISSN matches in Browzine, the OPAC should display using the Browzine data feed:

Journal cover image
Live link to current issue
Browzine journal contents search box
Name and links to all subject categories assigned to that journal in BrowZine



The Browzine API will return the following data from an ISSN search:

Title of the journal
Path to the current issue of the journal
Path to the journal cover image
SJR value (SciMago Journal Rank)
Name and links to all subject categories assigned to that journal in BrowZine


The Browzine LibraryID will need configuring in the Koha preferences.
