OpenBook is for book reviewers, book bloggers, library webmasters, anyone who wants to put book covers and data on their WordPress blog or website.<\/p>\n\n
Use the OpenBook button in the WordPress visual editor or insert an OpenBook 'shortcode' with a book number in a WordPress post, page or widget. OpenBook will display a book cover image, author, and other book data from Open Library (http:\/\/openlibrary.org). It also displays links to book websites. Users can control the content through templates and styling through a stylesheet. OpenBook inserts COinS to integrate with applications like Zotero. Librarians can point OpenBook to their library records using an OpenURL resolver.<\/p>\n\n
Requirements. To use OpenBook, your server must use PHP 5 or higher, and cURL must be enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n
