Description Amit Gupta 2025-11-21 22:31:18 UTC
Cataloging through Google Books

I showed a working demo of this feature during the Koha Conference 2025 in Lightning Talks

Plan to implement

1. Add Google Books integration for cataloging to fetch metadata by ISBN.
2. Once you fetch the metadata and map with MARC21 for example, title 245$a, author 100$a, and import data in Koha. Currently, this feature is for MARC21.

Hi Nick,

Please suggest if we need to create it as a plugin or in the main code base as a system preference.
