SBC-Standard The data standard for libraries

Book covers

Book covers for the item data, in JPG, GIF or PNG format, may be supplied in three files each (for example COVER.DBF, COVER.CDX and COVER.FPT). Where the files sit is set in POOL.INI.

The DBF file is in FoxPro (external site) format, while the file COVER.FPT uses the FLEX format:

Name Type Length Description
ISBN C 13 identifier (ISBN-13/ISSN/EAN) of the record
COVER M memo field holding the book cover

The index file COVER.CDX holds the index on the field ISBN.

Note

The identifier is given without hyphens and in capital letters. ISBN-13 (external site) is used as the ISBN.
