NNELS has various collections, which can be browsed here: Browse by Collection.
Most of our collections are based on literary award prizes, like the Governor General's Literary Awards, as well as library reading clubs, like the BC Summer Reading Club.
For every title that we publish on NNELS that is part of one of these awards or reading programs, we need to ensure we add a "collections tag" to the record.
To add a collection tag to a record in Drupal:
Go the the record's page (node)
Click Edit
Select the Relations
tab on the left side of the page
Add a "relation" or "collection" by
selecting IsPartOf
under DC Relation Qualifiers
entering the name of the collection that it should be part of under Value(term)
if the collection already exists, select it from the list of pop-up terms
if the collection does not yet exist, enter the name of the collection following the same naming conventions as previous collections of its type
Click Save
You should see the collection tag appear on the record's main page in the
Details
area under
Collection(s)/Series
. If you click on the link it will take you to other titles also part of that collection.
Books in the NNELS repository can be searched for here: Drupal Repository Items Working View (Relations)
To filter page results by collection:
Select IsPartOf
under DC Relation Qualifiers
Type in the name of the collection into the Value (term) (field_dc_relation_term_value)
field
You can also filter search results by subject terms by typing in the Subject (field_subject)
field. Drupal will create a dropdown list of existing subject terms as you type into this field.
Click
Apply
To add collection tags to records in bulk:
Select the record items you want to edit
Select Modify DC Relation
Add a "relation" or "collection" by
selecting IsPartOf
under DC Relation Qualifiers
entering the name of the collection that it should be part of under Value(term)
if the collection already exists, select it from the list of pop-up terms
if the collection does not yet exist, enter the name of the collection following the same naming conventions as previous collections of its type
Make sure that
Add new value(s) to DC Relation, instead of overwriting the existing values
checkbox is checked off
(Very important!! Records will be removed from collections they have already been added to if this is not selected!)
Click Next
Click Confirm
You should see the collection tag appear next to records on the search results page. If you click on the link it will take you to other titles also part of that collection.
As of August 2024, the NNELS Browse by Collection page nests list items with similar names under corresponding parent terms.
