Librarians' Toolbox: New Book Lists

Sample code boxes, widgets, other useful stuff.

Instructions for Linking to a New Books List

First, create a New Books page/tab in your Research Guide

  1. In the Command Bar, select Add/Edit Pages > Add New Page.
  2. For the page title, type New Books.
  3. For the position, select Top level.
  4. Click the Create Page button.

 

Then link to the "New <subject> Books" box

  1. On your New Books page, click Add New Box.
  2. Select "Link to another box in the system."
  3. For the guide, select Librarian's Toolbox.
  4. For the box, select the box under the appropriate subject from the New Books section (e.g., New <your subject> Books). The box will have a Month Year name.
  5. Choose where you want to position the box (usually  Top of the column).
  6. Click the Create Box button.

 

New content will be automatically updated at the beginning of each month, and the "old" content will be inserted into a box for the previous month. So, for example, at the beginning of March, the top box will be retitled "February 2011" and the content from the January 2011 box will be moved underneath the February box. At this point, we plan to display only the past 2 months of titles.
