Biblio

Biblio is the most commonly used content type on this site. It is used for the following content: people-text, people-interviews, groups, collections-distribution, tools, tool-texts, and preservation-texts.

When logged in, from the admin menu at the top of the screen select: create content/ biblio. On this screen you will first need to select what kind of publication type the new content will be. Creating the site we used the following four types: Unpublished, Book, Catalog, and Journal Article. In addition many were set to Miscellaneous and likely they should be edited to something else. You are not restricted to the five (four) types migrated from the legacy database. Use what is most appropriate. Be aware though that publishing types can be edited to include/exclude specific sets of fields. So far we have listed nearly all fields as common for all publishing types.

Once a publishing type is chosen the fields will automatically appear that can be filled in for that publication type. Some fields might be required, like title. Put the content text in the Full Text field. Legacy text was imported into the Notes field due to a biblio limitation (and this is common amongst zotero users). Moving forward for the full text use the Full Text field, it is a larger field. If the text includes html you should make sure that the input format is set to Full HTML, otherwise html tags might be filtered out. Body text will typically have a wysiwyg editor. Any time you need to edit HTML you need to switch the editor to the Source mode. Do not try to add html when not in the Source mode.

To add images or pdfs see the help section on adding images and pdfs.

Publishing date can be entered in RIS format which is allows for additional text. It uses the following format yyyy/mm/dd/additional text here. year must be just yyyy both should be filled in. Primary Authors should be listed each in there own field. Most fields can be left blank if they do not apply or the information is not available. Notice custom fields have been assigned as follows:

custom1: biblio index (likely not to be used moving forward)

custom2: catalog meta data (currently not being displayed but biblio catalog metadata blobs are imported here.

custom3: Literary Types

custom4: files (sometimes file names are here for reference and bookkeeping.

custom5: other text and files. Sometimes other text and files again have been migrated into this field. Use it for other text moving forward.

Please look at current content for an indication as to which fields citation data is input into.

Once all the fields are filled in, be sure to set:

XML Sitemap to Include

Comment settings to Disabled

Publishing options to published (and not promoted to the front page unless we create one later), you want to publish the article. If desired you can choose to not publish the article until you are ready. To do that simply uncheck the publish setting and save. When you are ready to publish the article you can check the publish setting on and then save to publish.

If you are an authenticated user, not the site Editor, you will not have the options in the last paragraph as you will not see the publish option. For Authenticated Users see the description of the work flow for biblio article creation.

Leave automatic alias checked unless you want to manually pre-determine the pages url, and you need to assure that it does not conflict with an existing page.

Be sure to save when done.

Previewing does not save the page but it does allow you to see what it will look like before saving. Again, if a page is not finished you can save it as unpublished and go back and work on it later, saving it as published when you are done.
