The Islandora Newspaper Solution Pack is provides a Paged Content collection that is similar to the Book solution pack, with a few key differences. Unlike a book collection, a newspaper collection is intended to represent a single publication, and each object inside that collection is intended to represent a single issue of that publication. Another level down, each object is intended to represent a page of that particular issuecontent model that assembles Paged Content into newspaper issues, which are then assembled into newspaper objects. A newspaper object corresponds to a specific newspaper publication, such as the Daily Planet, and contains one or more issues, each of which contain one or more pages. The Newspaper Solution Pack is designed to make it easier to navigate between issues and pages of a single publication - closer to the nature of a newspaper or magazine - as opposed to a book, which is more commonly read page-by-page. The newspaper object can be a member of one or more Islandora collections (for example, "Fictional Newspapers").
