Answer
Carousels can be used to display a rotating set of book covers on the library OPAC page.
To create the list of books to display:
- Log into the Oliver
OPAC
- Click on the ‘Management’ button
- Click on ‘Cataloguing'
- Click on 'Resources'
- Click on the 'Resources' drop down menu on the right
- Select 'Multi-barcode Search'
- Wand book barcodes
- Click on the 'Resources' drop down menu on the right
- Select 'Manage Authorities'
- Complete the following:
- Authority List=List
- Authority Term=Type in the start of an existing list title and select from the list that appears, or create a new one
- If it’s a list you only want to use for a short period of time (ie. New Books 8 Mar 2017), set an expiry date so that it drops off the system
- Click the ‘Save’ button
You can also add books individually to a list when searching or cataloguing by following step 8 onwards.
To create the carousel:
- Open the Oliver OPAC
- Click ‘Add Information Box’
- Give the box a title (ie. New Books)
- Complete the following:
- Link Type=Carousel
- Search Type=Reading list
- Search Restriction=name of the list you created (ie. New Books 8 Mar 2017)
- Column and Row fields can be used to place the box in a specific place if you want to
- Cilck the 'Save' button
