Books Movies Music#

Overview#

The NPL website has three Books Movies Music pages: Adults, Teens, Children.

Page content is added with components in this order:

  • Blog Swim
  • Database Feature List
  • Catalog spotlight
  • Catalog spotlight Grid
  • Text

Updating Catalog Spotlights#

The catalog spotlights on each BMM page are managed by Shared Systems.

Ask for Feedback on BMM Catalog Spotlights / Topics#

Shared Systems should periodically check with the Adult, Teen, and Children’s committees to get help updating content.

  1. Post a message in the Adult, Teen, and/or Children's Team on MS Teams.
  2. Ask them to review the spotlights / topics on the appropriate BMM page. What should we add, update, remove?
  3. Give feedback on their notes:
    1. If the committee wants to update one of the existing subject lists (Caldecott, Newbery, Concepts, etc.), let staff know they can update the list in the catalog. Changes to the catalog list will be reflected on the website automatically.
    2. If the committee wants to display new spotlights / topics, ask staff to create a list or give us a search. Shared Systems staff should make a Trello card with the changes and update the website.

If you want to swap out one of the 8 topical lists (remove Gentle Reads and add Cat Juggling), create the new list in the catalog, then send the URL to Shared Systems. We'll update the Books Movies Music page with the new list.

Add more Topics in the Topical Lists#

If the committee wants to add more lists (more than the 8 already there), contact Shared Systems.
