+===== Uploading cover art with custom identifiers =====
+You can upload cover art for any item appearing in your catalog - such as local authors, maps, iPads, table games, etc. In order to get custom item cover art images to appear in your catalog:
+  * You need to select the file for upload and pick //Custom// in //Type// selector - this will generate an 8-digit  custom identifier for the item in form of your library ID (e.g. 4000) + sequence number (e.g., 0001, 0002, etc.) like 40000001, 40000002, etc.
+  * You need to add the generated identifier in the UPC or 024a field of the bibliographic record of the custom items of your catalog
