🔍 Search PDF Index
This page would provide access to all publications SCBC wants to share online; Update: We have an option for creating a directory search; In the directory there will be a single instance for each publication that could be updated/added and all instances on site would be automatically updated
This sounds great. If we consolidate all publications / resources from across the SCBC site, we could have sections for the different program areas - or would that get too unwieldly? - The folder for Public PDF documents can have subfolders and the search will show these allowing people to search just that area.
Options -
1) Place the PDF search tool or a link to this tool on this page and provide a catalogue of articles/publications so users can see what to search for in database. Provide a catalogue list of topics and let the user search each one to see the resources available with that topic/category
2) Have a list of documents with image for each resource and then have the PDF search on another page. Con for this is that it requires work to create image and add link, all links have to be updated with every update of document; Pro is that user can see documents - we may be able to mitigate this with the list of topics and categories so they know what to search for and direct them to find resources they may not have seen or looked at in the page of images.
Note: PDF folder used for this tool needs to contain only the documents that you want to make available to public. If we create subfolders for each program/category of PDF, easier and faster to search and easier to manage.
Need a standard approach to PDF documents - Right now in resources, some links are just to the PDF, others go to a page with summary. I think we should get rid of all the summary pages and just provide the PDF files. The extra page makes the site unwieldy and inconsistent.
