Abstract

Presenting a plugin which enables the koha opac to present digital content like letters, scans, images etc. (plugin is production ready, link will follow) A IIIF server (like cantaloupe) provides digital assets with metadata. Koha provides bibliographical metadata. Our plugin connects koha with the digital assets and provides the possibility to extend koha beyond the pure bibliografical data, to show the library user what he/she really wants, ie the image, the book the letter.
