List Carousel

The List Carousel Component lets you add a “scrolling” carousel of book jackets for a “fixed” set of titles to a page. Titles are taken from a list (see the RESEARCHit Search User Guide or VERSO Search User Guide for details) saved to your user account. When a patron clicks an item in the carousel, the system displays the Full Record for the associated item.

To add a new List Carousel component:

  1. On the Page Settings screen for the desired page (see Creating and Editing Pages for more information), select List Carousel from the Select Component menu for the desired page block.
    • The List Carousel Component page displays.

  3. Use the Auto Play checkbox to enable or disable “auto play” functionality for the List Carousel.

    • A checkmark checkmark indicates “auto play” is enabled and the carousel will scroll automatically every few seconds, one title at a time.

    • Use the Font Color color picker to select the desired font color for the List Carousel Title (see Using the Color Picker or details).
    • Use the Background Color color picker to select the desired background color for the List Carousel (see Using the Color Picker or details).
    • Use the Flush in template checkbox to indicate whether or not the page block should be flush with adjacent blocks on the page.
      • A checkmark checkmark indicates the page block will be flush with adjacent page block.
      • An empty checkbox checkbox indicates the page block will not be flush with other page blocks.
      • Clicking the text box repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
  6. When all desired information for the component has been entered, click the Submit Showcase button to save the component. (Click the X button to cancel your work and discard the new component.)
