Carousel images
It would be nice to be able to add an image to a MARC record in Polaris that will show up in the PAC. We once used Verso as our ILS and they had the option to add image paths using 856 electronic and access field. Images often do not accompany records (particularly with DVDs) and our front page content carousel ends up looking sparse and ugly due to lack of images.

I can remember other systems using tag data containing image URLs to display custom cover art for bibliographic records. I'm not going to advocate we play whack-a-mole with every DVD that doesn't have cover art available in Syndetics, but I can understand the impulse to want to fix "the big ones". Furthermore, it's sometimes useful to provide links to images for "Things" that a library might circulate like laptops, activity kits, musical instruments, etc. and this would make that possible as well.
