The Islandora Solr Views module adds Islandora Solr as an option when creating or editing views with the Drupal Views module, helping facilitate the simple creation of Drupal structure objects that pull information from Islandora. It can be used to take the contents of Solr fields and expose them to the Views module, allowing administrators and editors to create pages, blocks, attachments and feeds based off of manipulated versions of those Solr fields. It can be used to design custom pages that list links to specific objects, or pages that allow users to run extremely specific, restricted searches without having access to the Solr search page itself. In short, anything one could do with Drupal Views - e.g. create specific RSS feeds that notify users on the addition of new objectspages that contain the OCR output of books, or create blocks with short at-a-glance lists of new objects added to a particular collection - can be done with Islandora's Solr index.
