The Islandora Collection Solution Pack module allows Islandora to view and manipulate objects as a collection. Installing the module allows collections to be created, managed and viewed, and adds the 'Collection' button to the Manage page of collection objects. It also adds the Islandora Collection content model to the list of solution packs.
Without the Islandora Collection Solution Pack, end-users will not be able to create new collections. |
