Islandora Paged Content

Overview

The Islandora Paged Content module is shared by the Book Solution Pack and Newspaper Solution Pack modules to provide numbered, individual pages as objects within each type of collection. It takes files in TIFF format, and is able to create several kinds of derivatives depending on the type of collection they are being ingested into.
