ListView Delivery Service

ListView is the delivery service for PDS document lists (list objects) -- the new way to deliver large sets of page-turned documents such as periodical runs and multi-volume works. PDS document lists are created via batch deposit to the DRS, managed in the DRS Web Admin, and delivered via ListView.

The ListView service presents a list of links with descriptive labels. The end-user can click links to open individual PDS documents or perform a full text search against all linked documents (if OCR text is available).

ListView access control

The ListView service does not perform access control -- all lists are publicly accessible. But if the end-user selects an individual PDS document that is restricted to Harvard, a log in will be required.

Sample links

The ListView URL to DRS list objects has this format:

http://listview.lib.harvard.edu/lists/drs-[DRS_object_ID]

Sample Listview links:

http://listview.lib.harvard.edu/lists/drs-[DRS_object_ID]
