Enable linking to Alma viewer selected file
Use case: User wishes to share a link to the Alma viewer but specify a specific file in a representation. eg. Share a link to chapter 3 in a book where each chapter has a separate pdf.
eg. https://librarysearch.bond.edu.au/discovery/delivery/61BOND_INST:BOND/1279341110002381
Use case 2: Instructor wants students to read chapter 3 in the same example above. At present we can only manage the digital representation in the Leganto citation, and instructor has to rely on a public note to advise students to get to chapter 3.
If there was a method to build a link to a specific file maybe using an anchor like https://librarysearch.bond.edu.au/discovery/delivery/61BOND_INST:BOND/1279341110002381#fileID that would show after any obtrusive copyright notice was clicked through, that could also be used in Leganto even if we could not handle it directly via Alma citations.
Hi,
Thank you for the idea. The requested feature is already included since March release, as part of the new Alma viewer release. PSA screenshot.
Users can define whether the shared link will highlight a specific file in the representation.
Thank you,
Daniel
