Objects can be added to existing 'bookmark lists' (the first term is configurable) in two waysThere are two ways to add bookmarks to your lists:

  1. Through individual object pages: every object page will have a little tool at the bottom if the "Islandora Bookmark" block has been enabled, it will allow users to bookmark the current object.
  2. Through Solr searches: if Solr and the Islandora Bookmark provides a SOLR display with functionality to bookmark objects based on a custom Solr querySolr display is enabled, users can select and add bookmarks from search result pages.

Users can share lists (view-only) with other users, or the world. If available to the world, an RSS feed can be used to track changes to the list.

Lists can be exported in RTF, RIS, PDF, or CSV.

Exporting the bookmarks in a list

If you also enabled the module Islandora Bookmark CSV Exports, then you can also export all bookmarked objects in a list.  You can export to the folowing You can export bookmark lists in the following formats:  RTF, RIS, PDF (default is a list of written citations as citations, default in APA), or csv (title, pid). If you also enable the module Islandora Bookmark CSV Exports, then you can configure the fields to include in the CSV.

For the export of PDF formatted citation lists according to APA, the default format is to pull from metadata and format the cite as an article.  The exporter looks to the MODS <genre> field for each item to determine how to format the cite.  If MODS reads <genre>book chapter</genre> or <genre>book section</genre>, then it will format as a book chapter in APA.  If MODS reads <genre>book</genre> then it will format like a book.  So, with consistent use of the <genre> field and good metadata can give you a good export of cites to material on your site.

To export, click to root /islandora-bookmark and click to the list you want to export.  Then under "Export", use the drop down menu to select an export format and export the list.
