[CODE4LIB] Open Library Internet Archive BookReader
Hello Everyone, is anybody using the Open Library Internet Archive BookReader for page turning? If so, I have a couple of questions regarding the development of it. Thanks, -Lakeisha Robinson- Sterling Memorial Library IT Programmer Analyst

Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Library Internet Archive BookReader
I'm just starting to work with it at Oregon State. We're considering using it for document display in Hydra. As Dave suggests, it's probably okay to just ask your questions.

Thanks, The Internet Archive Bookreader is an integral part of the Islandora Book Solution Pack, so it gets some active use there. It looks like development has stagnated on the mainline, but there are a lot of others that have forked it (https://github.com/openlibrary/bookreader/network/members).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Library Internet Archive BookReader
We are using it in an edit app on the admin side of the digital libraries @ UNT. On an expanded note. Does anyone have some success they can share in regards to serving materials through bookreader where the contained pages of a single item have variable widths and/or heights? Building off the demo assumes a fixed width/height ratio, which in our experience is not always the case (consider the book with the occasional map foldout). In our case we do not know an image's dimensions until it has loaded so we can't construct an array on the server side to lookup against, and doing so on page load would charge us a significant penalty for large items (books with 1000s of pages). My current hack has "auto" filled to the width, which breaks centering and thumbs, but renders the odd page as legible. So any thoughts/ideas? Thanks in advance!

We also use the Open Library Internet Archive BookReader as one of our book viewers at Brown. https://repository.library.brown.edu/services/book_reader/set/bdr:218476/ Another option we've adapted is Portfolio.js which we call the Portfolio Viewer https://repository.library.brown.edu/services/book_reader/portfolio/bdr:218476/ This is our current solution for large books with occasional irregularly sized page.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Library Internet Archive BookReader
Will, The BookReader will serve pages of variable widths. You can see an example here if you flip through the book and then look at a map: http://pudl.princeton.edu/viewer.php?obj=9880vq97z#page/2/mode/2up You need to click and hold to drag the oversized page if it bleeds off the screen. If you simply click, the page will turn. Take a look at the demo that comes with the BookReader distribution: https://github.com/openlibrary/bookreader/blob/master/BookReaderDemo/BookReaderJSSimple.js See how the br.getPageWidth and br.getPageHeight functions are hard coded? You need to set them dynamically. In the Ethnographic Maps example I gave above, our metadata contains the archival image dimensions, so we use that to set the height and width before it gets loaded. Are you using an image server? Djatoka has a metadata service that you can query, which might be an alternative if you don't have image dimensions. -Shaun On 5/31/13 3:24 PM, Hicks, William wrote: We are using it in an edit app on the admin side of the digital libraries @ UNT.

Thanks everyone for your response. My questions were whether or not you were building upon the Demo code. In the demo, the voice and search options are not available. Although we don't have a need for this now, I'm afraid that in the future.
