Re: [IUG] Google Books on bibdisplay

["Sue E Boggs" <boggs at ups dot edu>]

I put Michael's code in my staging http://simon.ups.edu:2082 botlogo and
briefcit.html. I put David's in bib_display.html. I thought it was
working fine except for not seeing book covers in bib_display but then I
looked closer. When I did my keyword search of vikings there were many
instances where the title in browse display would show Google Books info
but the full record display wouldn't and vice versa. But some showed the
same info. IE also has a habit of not showing anything until you refresh
the page but that will be tackled later.

The best I can figure the code in botlogo is keying on the OCLC # while
bib_display is looking at ISBN and if the ISBN had anything extraneous
like (pbk) it didn't show. When I removed that the full record display
matched the browse. There is a section in the script that says it is
removing leading and trailing newlines but I guess it isn't removing
text like pbk. I don't know enough about java script to fix it off the
top of my head. It is on the to-do list. Another thing I can't figure is
why it is working to prefix the ISBN with capital ISBN. When I use the
same number to search books.google.com it only works if I use lowercase
isbn: Also it seems the OCLC number only shows in the Google Book entry
in the code for the WorldCat hyperlink "find in a library". If the OCLC
number there doesn't match our OCLC number browse display won't catch
it, though full record display might because of the ISBN. Obviously I
should be using the same search option in both places. Just have to
figure out how.

Since my webpub.def is set to display the 001 field I tried adding
<div class="gbs" style="display: none;">
<!--{recordinfo:o}-->
</div>

to bib_display to see if the script in botlogo would read the OCLC # but
it didn't.

I'm taking a break from it for now while I try to fix my AutoIt code
that broke with the new version release.
