FAQ
- Where do I find an ISBN number?
The ISBN for a book is frquently listed in sources of book data, e.g., Amazon.
- What happens if BiblioShare is slow, down, or unavailable?
BiblioShare’s cover and/or data servers are up most of the time, but this cannot be guaranteed. The plugin times out in ten seconds (or the value configured in Settings) and displays an availability message where the data would normally go. When BiblioShare becomes available, the book data will be displayed normally.
- How do I point the plugin to my library?
In the plugin Settings panel, configure an OpenURL resolver for your library.
- How do I change the display?
Change the content, ordering and styling using the templates in the Settings panel. There are two kinds of template elements. BiblioShare elements (prefixed with a BS_) are original data from the data source. BookNet elements (prefixed with a BN_) are HTML formatted elements that use the BiblioShare elements and present them in a richer format for display. You can add your own HTML to the templates.
