The catalog has two main\u00a0functions, and is likely to be used differently by individuals and those using a private Pressbooks instance. This chapter will cover:<\/p>\n
\n- Navigating between books<\/li>\n
- Making your catalog public<\/li>\n
- Adding and removing books from your catalog<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Navigating Between Books<\/h2>\n
Most commonly, the catalog function is\u00a0used to switch between books. Simply hover your mouse over “My Catalog” in the top left of your screen to see a list of your books appear. This will include all books you have created, as well as any you have been added to as a user.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Making Your Catalog Public<\/h2>\n
If you wish to, you can use your catalog to display your books publicly. This can be done on two levels: as an individual, and, if you have a private\u00a0Pressbooks instance,\u00a0as an organization.<\/p>\n
Individual Catalog<\/h3>\n
This function works regardless of whether you’re using Pressbooks.com or a private instance. To add books to your public catalog, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Click on “My Catalog” on the top menu bar<\/li>\n
- Under “Catalog Status” you will see red crosses next to your books<\/li>\n
- Hover your mouse over the column and click on the “Show In Catalog”\u00a0message that appears (the cross will change to a green tick)<\/li>\n
- Click on “Edit\u00a0Profile” to personalize your catalog page<\/li>\n
- View the results at\u00a0www.pressbooks.com\/catalog\/[your-username] OR www.[your-organisation-url].pub\/catalog\/[your-username]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Organisational Catalog<\/h3>\n
On a hosted PressbooksEDU network, open source network, or standalone network, network managers can choose to display a public catalog of books produced by your organisation. To do so, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Hover your mouse over\u00a0\u201cMy Catalog\u201d on the top menu bar<\/li>\n
- Go down to \u201cNetwork Admin\u201d, then click on \u201cSites\u201d (this will open a list of all your books)<\/li>\n
- Check the \u201cIn Catalog\u201d option next to the books you wish to display<\/li>\n
- Visit your network Catalog to see the results<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"menu_order":14,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":"cc-by"},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[50],"part":377,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/474"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/474\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":475,"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/474\/revisions\/475"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/377"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/474\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=474"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=474"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pb.malartu.org\/pbuserguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
