The Islandora Newspaper Solution Pack is 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 issue. 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.

Newspaper Batch Ingest

A newspaper batch ingest utility module is available as of version 7.x-1.6. The batch ingest module uses the same framework as the ZIP and Book batch ingests to batch add issues and pages to existing newspaper objects. The newspaper batch ingest can be run from the Islandora Newspaper MODS form.interface or from the command line with Drush. For more information, go to the Islandora Newspaper Batch documentation.
