FIU Digital Project Guidelines and Help Materials

OPTION 1

• To create a canned search showing users a specific theme within a collection, (example: just Venetian Pool photos within the Coral Gables Memory Collection), log in to the back end of dPanther at http://dpanther.fiu.edu/sobek/
• Using the Search Collection box, search for your topic (example: "newspapers")
• You will notice that you get newspapers from many different collections, if you want to limit this to one collection you can click on the collection on the left (example: Miami Beach Digital Archive)
• 
• Notice that your URL now has the added aggregation code in it
• 
• This is the URL you will want to copy in order to show your users specific items within a collection.

OPTION 2

• You can also create a canned search without logging in by using the following URL and adding your search term after the = sign: http://dpanther.fiu.edu/sobek/results/?t=
• example with search term: http://dpanther.fiu.edu/sobek/results/?t= Venetian Pool
• If you only want Venetian Pool records from the Coral Gables Memory collection, you will need to add your aggregation code inbetween SOBEK and RESULTS
• example: http://dpanther.fiu.edu/sobek/cgm/results/?t=Venetian Pool
