Today we celebrate the 50,000th cover image uploaded to Syndetics Unbound using our Cover Upload feature! Thank you to the hundreds of Syndetics Unbound libraries contributing. The images you upload benefit every library in the community, helping to expand cover image coverage globally.
The 50,000th image was the cover for an anime film, Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea, uploaded by the Maricopa County Library District.
Our top three overall contributors are:
We see an incredible variety of images coming in through Cover Upload, images of books published in many languages, of titles by local authors, of out-of-print books, of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, CDs, board games, puzzles, cake pans, and even pickleball paddles!
You can use Cover Upload to either add an image where one is missing or to replace an incorrect or low-quality image. We accept images associated with a standard identifier (including ISBN, UPC, ISSN, and EAN). Learn more and watch a tutorial video in this post.
