Lightning talk given at Evergreen International Conference 2011

1. Evergreen Added
Content by UPC
(half-baked from the hackfest)

2. Added Content?
• Cover Images
• Reviews
• ToC
• (etc)

3. • Before:
Single key passed to AC provider
No ISBN? No Added Content
• After:
Multiple key types may be passed
AC provider must support those types
• Adding UPC to start -- OCLC num?

4. Before
• OPAC is responsible for:
• getting the ISBN
• cleaning the ISBN
• requesting AC by ISBN
• Server-side:
• Fetch upstream content

5. After
• OPAC is responsible for:
• requesting AC by record ID
• Server-side:
• Fetch keys (ISBN, UPC) from record
• Clean keys and fetch upstream content

6. Bring the new, hold the
old harmless

7. • Instead of passing ISBN, we will pass
/r/RECORD_ID or
/m/METARECORD_ID
• Old-style /ISBN urls will still work -- if
you’re using them elsewhere (we are)
• ISBN local overrides will continue to work

8. Primary Benefit

9. • Greatly increased coverage for audiovisual
materials

10. [this slide unfortunately
left blank]

11. Added Benefits

12. • You are no longer an open proxy to your
AC provider
• You can now do local cover art for things
by record ID, instead of having to make up
a fake ISBN -- PUPPETS!

13. Future improvements?
• Default cover image for different record
types
• Try multiple ISBN/UPC values until you get
a result
• Stack multiple AC providers (e.g.
OpenLibrary AND your subscription
provider)

14. Thanks!
• Everyone who helped or listened to me
brainstorm, especially:
• berick
• miker
