Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Library Bookshelves

A: Yes! But only if you contact me with a link to your catalog! As soon as you do I'll get working on an update. This plugin is not compatible with these catalogs: Biblionix, Comics Plus, Follett Destiny, Librarika, LibraryWorld, Verso.

A: Right click on an item image from your catalog and select View Image or Inspect to see the image URL.

A: Try an alternate ISBN if possible. Amazon, for example, only supports 10-digit ISBNs. Not all CDNs will have images for every ISBN. In some cases you may get better results using UPCs for DVD items.
