Description Jason Robb 2022-11-18 18:18:35 UTC

Bug 14242 added the ability to fill the OPAC purchase suggestion form with data from the Google Books API by entering an ISBN.

My catalogers would be ecstatic if that functionality could be used to populate the relevant fields on a blank bib record in the basic editor as a starting point for creating records from scratch. This would save a substantial amount of time entering data.

Logical mappings would be:
volumeInfo.title > 245$a
volumeInfo.subtitle > 245$b
volumeInfo.authors > 100$a
volumeInfo.publisher > 264$a
volumeInfo.publishedDate > 264$c
volumeInfo.pageCount > 300$a
volumeInfo.dimensions.height > 300$c
volumeInfo.description > 500$a

I suppose this would work either by the user typing-in the/an ISBN of the work and trying to enter an incomplete record, or by clicking on a new, specific button. 
As I didn't know of the purchase suggestion automation and haven't tried it yet, does it look for all variants of ISBN in Google books?

Jason demonstrated his ISBN Google Button (with JS in IntranetUserJS) implementation of this in the 17 August 2023 Web Development Special Interest Group:

This would also be a useful addition to the purchase suggestion form (/cgi-bin/koha/opac-suggestions.pl?op=add).
