The next major release of Evergreen will have integrated GBS browse
available by default. You can see it in action here.* The cover art
there is provided by Syndetics, but as you can see, there are "Browse
in Google Book Search" links available for those titles that Google
has available.
Because Amazon recently changed (or perhaps clarified is the right
term) their stance on the use of Amazon images in library catalogs, we
will also be developing a replacement added content plug-in that uses
GBS for cover art, as well as any other added content we can pull in.
