Enabling Enhanced Content for CD and DVD covers

Syndetics and Baker & Taylor have started offering CD and DVD covers as enriched content. If you have either of the services, you can set up Horizon Information Portal (HIP) to display the covers for CDs and DVDs in search results.

In order to see cover art for non-book items, you must first purchase the enhanced content service.

To enable enhanced content for CD and DVD covers

1 Complete the normal Syndetics or Baker & Taylor installation procedures.
2 Go to the Horizon Information Portal Administration webpage and log in.
3 Select the search display where you want the covers to appear.

For example, select the Full Bib display.

(For instructions, see Adding or Accessing a Search Result Display.)

Note: Repeat these steps for each display where you want the covers to appear. Typically, you would use the Full Bib and the Bib Summary displays.

4 Click Add New Element.

By default, if you do not add any element, the system searches the ISBN index. This is also used if any of the elements you add do not return cover art information. You can also explicitly add the HIPisbn element, as well as the HIPupc and the HIPoclc to ensure that the system locates the cover art.

Note: The more selections you make, the longer it will take to display the page for the user. If you know that the data can all come from one element, such as from the UPC, add just that element.

The Administration tool displays the Add Data Element page:

5 Complete these fields to add an element to a display:

Field

Action

Label

Enter the name you want Information Portal to display for this element on the search result page if there is no fixed element code.

(For example, enter “HIPupc”, “HIPoclc”, or “HIPisbn”.)

Table Name

Specify this to be “bib”.

Key Column Name

Specify this to be “bib#”.

MARC Map

Select an appropriate marc map for the element.

This depends on the marc maps you have set up. For example, HIPupc would most likely use a marc map named Dupc or upc_ex. If you do not have an appropriate marc map you may need to create one in Horizon.

Is Hidden

Select the box.

6 Click OK.

The Administration tool displays the Edit Display page again.

7 If you want to add more elements to this display, repeat steps 4 through 6; otherwise, click OK again.

The Administration tool displays the Displays page again.

8 Add this display to a result type, if it is not already added. (For more information, see Adding a Result Type.)
9 You can also enable the More Content link on the Full Bib display for any content you have purchased. Continue with the steps for Enabling More Contents Link for Syndetics.
