Digital archive work in Pika

  • Display of Postcards within Pika.  Front and Back of the postcard can both be viewed and both sides can be zoomed.

 

Bug Fixes

  • Updated Export from Sierra to use new API functionality which should be faster than the old method.  Should eliminate cases where we miss updates because there are too many changes.

  • Updated Sierra settings to allow Marmot users to update their home library.

  • Fixed “More from the Catalog” link from Explore More for objects in the archive when there are a large number of Librarian Picks.

 

  • Removed restriction that words appeared in the same order when finding relevant objects for Explore More (caused problems for related people especially).

  • Fixed so vertically oriented images can be zoomed all the way out.

  • Centered options within explore more sidebar for better presentation.

  • Improved formatting of explore more bar within search results (better centered options and controls).

 

  • Do not show entities in Explore More Bar when searching the archive.

  • Suppress content within specific test namespaces within the archive.

  • Use genre field rather than model to determine format and rename to Type.

  • Separate out people with roles into a Production Team bar.  Do not show images for those people and collapse the section by default.  

  • Do not show explore more bar when the search is just for a material type (i.e. do not show explore more bar when clicking on a list of videos).

eContent Sideload setups

  • Sideloading of Zinio (and Zinio Back Issues) for Marmot

  • Setup of OneClick Digital for Longmont

Other changes

  • Updated Logo for CMC
