Select article for download in volume by title, author, etc. '(see BHLUS approach) or page range

Precondition: article level in metadata, correct pagination

@lobajuluwa I think download by page range is already done, see issue #99, the other case depends on the available metadata provided by the content providers. I think this issue can be closed if we do not want the users to use the questionnaire for author, title, pages like BHLUS. As we cannot see the current implementation of the book reader we cannot judge how efficient this is. ... see also comment in #99 here: @ZhengLIAtos Well, unfortunately a book (volume) contained several article and sometimes these artciles are not! anotated in the metadata, because there is a great difference in cataloguing by librarians and the actual needs of scientists. The librarian regards the book as an item and might not list all the included artciles in a volume... the scientists wants only the article in the respective book. By search he would only find the book(volume) but not the article. The user will find it by checking the entire volume and page numbers (usually the user has the page information already, e.g. volume number, pages). The the user wants to select a page range for download (the actual range of the articel which may or may not be indexed in the metadata). This is why we need the option to let the users decide what pages to be downloaded. BHLUS uses the information provided by one user (author, real page range and titel (of the article)) to save/ index the request. Next time a user will be able to find the article already requested for download and don't have to fill in the template. I think this is a clever way to do it. However, if correct pagination is provided and the metadata goes down to article level in a volume then we don't have this issue of course, because users will find the artcile directly by search. So, I agree this is another story :-) and you might have to wait and see what comes with the metadata or AIP

To follow up in next TechCall.

single articles dependant for download link from within result list.

It is possible by selecting pages directly in content viewer in case, that the volume is not parsed to the articles. Cannot be tested yet because we do not have volumes or articles content type on the portal at the moment.
