Book Solution Pack

Overview

The Book Solution Pack module allows for the creation of a book collection, and the ingesting of pages into that book. Essentially, a 'book' object is a special type of collection into which page objects can be ingested and organized.

Dependencies

• Islandora Paged Content
• Core Collection Solution Pack
• Islandora Internet Archive BookReader is required for viewing
• Islandora OCR is required for creating OCR datastreams
• ImageMagick is required for creating PDF datastreams
• Large Image Solution Pack is required for creating thumbnail and JPEG datastreams

Usage

The Book Solution Pack module functions slightly different than most other solution packs, in that it is a collection that acts similarly to a regular data object. Books exists as a collection, but are able to perform tasks like derivative creation and viewing similar to how other content models function.

There are a few steps to creating a book using the Book Solution Pack module:

1. Create a new collection, or go to an existing one, and add the 'islandora:bookCModel' content model to its collection policy
2. Go to that collection's 'Manage' tab, and add an object to the collection (from the 'Collection' section)
3. Fill out the Book MODS form and submit it

You will now be brought to the Book's object page. From here, you can use the Paged Content module to manipulate the book. Check the Usage section of Islandora Paged Content for more information on how to add and manipulate pages within a book.
