Manual cataloguing of ebooks :
- Use the Ebook template from the Cataloguing screen
- Fill in all the fields including ISBN if available (do not use the Wheelers GUT codes for Gutenberg books as they are invalid)
- Save the Bib record
- Click on 'Add resource'
- Choose appropriate age-based Digital Site for ebook (section is Digital by default) eg. Site = 'Digital - general'
- Status is 'Online' to view on Opac ('Offline' hides the resource from the Opac)
- Click the Copyright button if the standard copyright notice is to be displayed
- Paste the URL for the ebook link into the Link box, or...
- Upload the actual file of the ebook (eg. PDF, Epub) using the 'Upload digital resource' link
- Optionally add a label for the link. eg. Title of resource
- Save the link record
Note for manually adding URLs for e-platform ebooks. eg. Wheelers:
The easiest way to manually add a URL link for e-platforms is to:
- open your Wheelers (or other) website on a tab beside Infiniti
- search Wheelers (or other) for the title or ISBN and
- paste the URL from the Wheelers (or other) tab into the Infiniti link box on the Infiniti tab.
- you may wish to add a 'Link label' which will replace the URL on the opac
eg. concord.wheelers.co/title/gut35/epub = Time machine by H G Wells - paste this link into the Infiniti link.
If you add a Link Label called' Time Machine', this will be seen on the Opac link instead of concord.wheelers.co/title/gut35/epub
