submitted by mark on behalf of chris gutteridge. IDEA: make a plugin that displays book covers as if they are on a bookshelf, ordered by some fuzzy parameters - e.g. lets see all books about X, or all books by Y. Upon hovering, show the metadata. to replace the serendipity of browsing in a real library that has been lost by the digital world. |

We did something similar for a serendipitous OPAC search for the 2009 Dev8D developer decathlon: http://vimeo.com/3289718 Serendipity was determined, IIRC, based on the (dewey?) classification. |

Great idea! This is somehow related to our proposal. To consider library books only one can take table of contents into account to perform similarity ranking. |
