Library Bookshelves free WordPress plugin

The Library Bookshelves plugin allows you to curate virtual bookshelves just like you would a shelf around a theme in your library. Bookshelves are displayed as customizable Slick carousels, using cover art from, and links to, your library catalog. The plugin creates a Bookshelves post type, shortcode, widget, and custom taxonomy. Many of you have asked for a way to have Bookshelves which link directly to cloudLibrary, Hoopla, or Overdrive, and also have Bookshelves which link to your main catalog. Well, here it is! Look for the ebook catalog options in the Bookshelves post editor. This plugin currently supports these catalog systems: – BiblioCommons – Bibliotheca cloudLibrary – Calibre and COPS – Civica Spydus – DB/Textworks – EBSCOHost Discovery Service – Evergreen – Ex Libris Primo – Hoopla – Innovative Encore, WebPAC PRO, and Polaris – Koha – Marmot Pika – OpenLibrary.org – Overdrive – SirsiDynix Enterprise and Horizon – TLC – WorldCat It supports retrieval of images from these third-party CDNs: – Amazon – ChiliFresh – Baker & Taylor – EBSCO – OpenLibrary.org – Syndetics – TLC. Bookshelves can be populated using: – Calibre OPDS (and HTML) PHP Server API – Evergreen SuperCat feeds – JSON data from any web address – Koha Reports Web Service – Koha RSS feeds – New York Times Books API – Pika API – Sierra API – SirsiDynix Symphony Web Service – TLC LS2 PAC API When using an API you can set a Bookshelf to update items on a regular schedule using the WordPress cron system. Items returned from an API query which have no associated cover art in your selected image CDN are automatically removed from the Bookshelf. If you would like this plugin to support another catalog system, CDN, or web service email me. Originally developed by and for staff
