INSTRUCTIONS: Entering a Book
Making A Book
Create the Book Reference card
- First check if the bibliography exists here http://ismaili.net/heritage/biblio-search If it exists, go to "Creating a book page" below.
- Go To Create content -> Document
- Enter Type Book, the Year, and Title
- Under categories, enter:
Book Type (probably General Book)
And then the following:
- Granularity is important. If we are entering the whole book, choose -full Text-
- Author: enter the first name altogether or with dashes so that the system knows where the last name starts.
- If you think the book should show up in the history section, add -Historical- to the Document type
- Skip the other categories.
- For other fields, enter data as best you can.
- For Source, if none available, enter -The Heritage Society Collection-
- Click on Attached Images and select the Image you entered for the book cover.
Creating a book page:
Here's a page I will enter: http://www.ismaili.net/Source/myflag/06alamut.html
It is the sixth chapter, titled -Alamut period-
Even though the chapters in the original book are not numbered, we must assign a number for the chapters to appear in order in the table of contents, so we will call it -06. Alamut period-
Now Create a Book Page (Create content - Book Page)
- Enter the chapter title - 06. Alamut period -
- copy - paste the text in the body field
- Put the <i> </i> tags around any text that needs to be italic (such as the image caption)
- Make sure to select the Book title as the Parent for this book page.
- That's it, submit and the chapter will get entered and placed in the table of contents.
If this is the First book page, then:
- The page doesn't need to be numbered, just put the title as-is
- In the Categories section, select the Book from the Book container. This links the first page of your book to the Book Reference Card.
- You do not need to do this step for any subsequent pages.
Chapter Numbering Issue:
If you numbered your chapters 1. 2. 3... 9.
Then the chapter # 10. will be laced alphabetically after chapter 1. !
So make sure to name everything 01, 02, etc..
Images
- If the Book contains images, make an album for it under the Books Album; Make sure to select -allow others to post to this album-
- Enter one Image that can serve as the cover image.
Create content -> image and put it in the album for this book and for book covers.
- Add other images to this album, and select the book page that each image should show up on by filling the - Literature Link - field for each image
- Enter a caption if available.
