The Islandora Bookmark module allows users to build, manage, share, track and export lists of Islandora objects. There are two ways to add bookmarks to your lists:
Install as usual, see this for further information.
Enable the following modules:
Go to Administration » Islandora » Islandora Utility Modules » Bookmark (admin/islandora/tools/islandora-bookmark) to configure the module.
Optionally: Select "Create a default list for users?" and click Save Configuration. After you log out and back in, a default bookmark list will be created for your user account. If a user is anonymous, adds items to a bookmark list, and then logs in those items will be added to a new list, or appended to their default list.
Users cannot delete their default bookmark list. |
Set the permissions for the Bookmark module in Administration » People (admin/people/permissions).
Add the Islandora Bookmark tool to a block that is used on object pages (admin/structure/block) such as the Content or First Sidebar blocks. (Note: After you add this to a block, you may have to clear the cache (Configuration >> Performance >> Clear all caches) in order to see the new block as you browse pages.)
The Bookmark Tool will not display until at least one list exists for bookmarks to be added to. |
To create a display of objects that can be bookmarked based on the results of an Islandora search:
Once you have bookmarked an object, the Islandora Bookmark tool will show a link to the bookmark list that contains that object.
When logged in, users can view their bookmark lists and create new lists at http://path.to.your.site/islandora-bookmark.
On the 'Overview' tab of "My bookmarks", click a list name. The 'Detailed list' view shows a list of all the objects that you have bookmarked. From the detailed list, you can remove one or all bookmarks, export some or all bookmarks, or share the list with other users. Clicking on the label takes you to the bookmarked object.
If you also enabled the module Islandora Bookmark CSV Exports, then you can also export all bookmarked objects in a list. You can export to the folowing formats: RTF, RIS, PDF (default is a list of written citations in APA), or csv.
For the export of PDF formatted citation lists according to APA, the default format is to pull from metadata and format the cite as an article. The exporter looks to the MODS <genre> field for each item to determine how to format the cite. If MODS reads <genre>book chapter</genre> or <genre>book section</genre>, then it will format as a book chapter in APA. If MODS reads <genre>book</genre> then it will format like a book. So, with consistent use of the <genre> field and good metadata can give you a good export of cites to material on your site.
To export, click to root/islandora-bookmark and click to the list you want to export. Then under "Export", use the drop down menu to select an export format and export the list.
Table cells referencing the bookmarked objects in both bookmark lists and bookmark Solr results can be modified in one of the following ways:
Q. How do I set up bookmarking through Solr?
A. Islandora Bookmark provides a Islandora Solr primary display which has to be enabled in the solr client admin page (admin/islandora/search/islandora_solr). To set up Islandora Solr check the module's documentation. Islandora Solr comes with a 'Display switch' block which lets you switch primary displays. When enabled, the bookmark display can be accessed by appending ?display=bookmark to the Solr results URL.
