I’ve been using LB for several years now. It is perfect!
The developer even added functionality for an ILS on request. Amazing!

I’m using this on two library sites, both running against SirsiDynix catalogues. Worked flawlessly both times. Lots of options to customize look and feel. Start to finish setup was about 15 minutes each time.

I am so appreciative of this plugin! We need to change images in our carousels for new books all the time and this makes the process so much easier. Thank you, thank you!

installed correctly, followed the settings in the limited instructions. I created an open library.org account and generated a book list, but the plugin never synced to the account. Tried adding a book manually and added the shortcode to a wordpress page. The book cover image was broken and the URL link appeared as double offset so you can’t tell what it is. The link works. I just removed it, a waste of 20 minutes.

There are very few things I encounter that just work well. This plugin is one of them. Not only does the plugin work well as designed, but when I reached out to the developer about support for our enhanced content service, he was very responsive and within a couple of weeks had an update with my needed support. Bravo!

This plugin works great for our Library, the new evergreen specific config options are very useful. We have had zero issues with the functionality of the plugin. The code seems to be high quality and is easy to read and allows for easy customization.

I contacted the plugin author to get our catalog added. We receive our catalog through a consortium that uses “profiles” on the SirsyDynix Enterprise catalog so that each library in the consortium gets their own catalog page. This did not work with the previous version, but Jon was nice enough to update the plugin to work with our catalog and the ability to add profile codes, which pulls up the books on our personal catalog profile.
Our staff have even been bringing stacks of books to their desk, starting a new bookshelf, and then scanning in the items ISBN. We’re already thinking of all kinds of new possibilities, like creating virtual bookshelves to mirror the themed book displays that we do in our actual library.
Do be aware that not every book has cover art in the OpenLibrary.org website, so you may get some missing books in your bookshelf. This can easily be fixed by signing up for an account at https://OpenLibrary.org and adding the book information and cover art.
