The Islandora Newspaper Solution Pack comes with three content models, corresponding to the newspaper publication, an issue of that publication, and the pages within an issue. They must be ingested in a particular order:

  1. First a Newspaper Object is created that represents the publication, such as The Daily Planet. This has the Islandora Newspaper Content Model. To create a Newspaper Object, add an object to a collection where Islandora Newspaper Content Model is allowed by the collection policy. 
  2. Within an existing Newspaper object, one or more Issue Objects can be created. An Issue Object represents a single issuance, for example The Daily Planet - June 21, 1955. Issue objects have
  3. A child collection is set up and given the Islandora newspaper content model. This represents the publication to which issues will be added.
  4. Inside that collection, a new object is created; this will automatically be given the Islandora newspaper issue content model. Within that new object, pages are added. These are automatically given To create an Issue Object, use the Manage tab on a Newspaper object, and select "Add Issue". To create many issues simultaneously, consider the Islandora Newspaper Batch module.
  5. Issue Objects contain Newspaper Pages, which have the Islandora newspaper page content model. To create Page Objects:
    1. while creating an Issue Object, you have an opportunity to upload a (multi-page) PDF representing the entire issue, and it will be automatically split up into individual pages.
    2. Manage an existing Issue Object and select "Add Page" to create an individual page.
    3. Manage an existing Issue Object, and from the "Issue" menu, select "Add Zipped Pages" to create multiple pages from a zipped directory of page images.
    4. Use the Islandora Newspaper Batch module, which can automate the process for multiple issues and pages.

Tip

Because you will be ingesting multiple issues of a publication that contains extremely similar MODS records, it is recommended to install the MARCXML Module so that the MARCXML record from one issue can be uploaded into other issues. Check the MARCXML Module page for more information on downloading and ingesting MARCXML files.
