Popular Carousel

The Popular Carousel lets you add a “scrolling” carousel of book jackets for popular titles in your library’s catalog, as determined by the number of holds (for VERSO systems) or requests (for SHAREit systems) for the title). When a patron clicks an item in the carousel, the system displays the Full Record for the associated item.

To add a new Popular Carousel component:

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

  3. Use the Auto Play checkbox to enable or disable “auto play” functionality for the Popular 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 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 blocks.
      • 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.
  5. 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.)
    • The Popular Carousel Component page closes, the system returns to the Page Settings screen, and the completed Popular Carousel component displays.
