'''As a widget author:'''
* Provide book covers and other bibliographic data for readers of my blog.
* Easily select from different data sources, using various identifiers (not just ISBN), be able to select from multiple versions of given title, set options for linking, etc.
* Respect copyright on book cover images. (My research on this indicates that thumbnails are fair use for book covers of copyrighted materials. If it can be determined that a book cover is public domain, copying full covers is legal. --[[User:Johnmiedema|Johnmiedema]] 06:06, 12 January 2009 (PST)).
'''As a widget author who manages a library website:'''
* I am targeting patrons of my own library. I would like to be able to configure the widget to show items in my specific library.
'''As a widget user:'''
* Link to detailed book data.
* View books online where available.
* Add virtual books to my personal "shelf".
'''As a third-party developer:'''
* I would like book widgets to be designed for auto-detection by other applications. E.g. COinS or unAPI for detection by Zotero and other applications.
* Consume book data that is XHTML compliant.
