I agree with danzac. I use book covers a lot in my teaching to show students which book I am talking about. In addition, I often remember the books in my library by what they look like. Having a visual reminder in BE would be very helpful. I will email Google scholar and encourage a relevant API. Wh...

This is really cool but not entirely what I am looking for. I have many downloaded references that do not have cover art associated with them. I was looking for a way to tell Bookends to go through a list of books and automatically download and attach cover art to each book without my intervention. ...

Automatically Download Book Covers

Is there any way to get Bookends to automatically download book covers from Amazon?

Downloading PDFs of journal articles would also be great but I suspect a great deal more work.

Thanks, Mark

Smart Groups

I am trying to figure out the logic in creating smart groups. Here are two examples of how I am trying to use smart groups but can’t figure out how to do it:

With the addition of one field to add the call numbers it worked perfectly.

Wonderful. Surprisingly easy. Thank-you.

Is there somewhere I can upload it so that others can make use of it?

Flipped Fields in Import to 8

I just imported my 7 database into 8. I noticed that it placed all my ISBN information into a field that is labeled edition rather than the ISBN field.

My University library (University of Toronto) is found in the list. However, I can’t figure o...
