Researcher > Slideshow
Alexandria's Slideshow interface gives you a fun way to dynamically display a range of titles from search or saved results for educational or promotional purposes. You can limit the Slideshow to display on a television or projector that does not allow user input or to a dedicated display that does allow user input, such as a tablet device on a display table. Additionally, you can add a Slideshow button to your Explore window.
To access Alexandria's Slideshow interface, type the IP address (or domain name), port number, and (optional) serial number of your Data Station followed by “/slideshow” into your browser's Address field (usually located in the upper-left corner of the window). Refer to Accessing Alexandria for more detailed information.
How It Works
The main Slideshow interface is essentially divided into two distinct sections. What appears in the Slideshow interface depends on the value provided in the Slideshow Search Term field of Slideshow preferences. This can either be a generic search term or a more complicated search string syntax.
Titles that match your Slideshow search criteria are displayed in the order which they were discovered. The currently selected title will transition to the right in a set interval of 5—60 seconds; this is configured in your Slideshow preferences.
Select a title below the slideshow to view detailed information about the title, including Call Number, Title, Author, Medium, Series, Genre, and average Rating. You can select any title from the row of items. If you select the middle item whose details are currently being displayed, you will temporarily halt the the automatic transition interval for up to one minute. If you select an item that is not currently being displayed, it will align to the center and display title details for one minute. After the minute is up, focus will move to the title directly after the one selected and continue from there.
To search for a title in the slideshow, click the 
icon in the top right corner of the window to open Search with the same search string used for the Slideshow you were viewing.
If there are no matching records for the Slideshow search query, it will display a "search returned no results" error. If the query returns less than five results, it will display a message saying "too few results".
