Improve navigation interface for multipage IIIF items #526

Open karenmajewicz opened 1 year ago

karenmajewicz commented 1 year ago

The only way to see and navigate multipage items, like atlases, is to see the small text at the bottom of the viewer. Many users have reported that they did not notice that and thought that the first page was the only available resource.

Could you please add a stable, production example link here?

multiPageAtlas

Users are not seeing the text annotated here with a pink box. This came to light during a metadata cleanup sprint from last week. Multiple Team Members flagged many atlases and two-sided maps as "not a map" because they did not see the text nor the tools indicating a navigation.

Previous iterations of our Mirador setup showed thumbnails at the bottom. Although they took up page real estate, they may be better to include as they provide a visual reference that there are multiple pages.

Here is another example: https://geo.btaa.org/catalog/542c17e7-1575-4240-8765-d808310bdb88. The map is not in English, which may have also led to people not realizing there is another page.

removed from Q2 project board - to address in a future quarter.

If we add Clover to GBL as a IIIF Manifest viewer, I'd lean in favor of migrating the Geoportal to Clover.

The only downside I can see is that Clover doesn't appear to have a "Download" feature. How important is that feature for us?
