Recommended Reading

 

 

 

Recommended Reading enables admin users to highlight specific items from the collection on the OPAC homepage.

 

The Recommended Reading widget displays cover images of selected items, and clicks through directly to item details for those items. The first two items will be displayed in the widget preview. To view additional items, click the widget button, and navigate using the arrows on either side.

 

To add items to the Recommended Reading widget, log into Setup using your admin credentials and select “Recommended Reading” from the left-hand menu.

 

To add a new item, click create new item and copy-paste the ISBN for the item you would like to add (no hyphens or spaces). Clicking the isbn* field will prompt an Overlay; that automatically fills the title, author, and call number info. If you would prefer NOT to display that data, simply delete those fields manually.

 

A cover image will only be displayed if it is available locally or through a third-party add-on service like Syndetics. If a local cover image is available, the URL will automatically load into the imagelink field.

 

Click save and refresh the OPAC homepage to ensure the items have been added correctly.
