WANT TO ADD A BOOK (with cover image) TO YOUR PAGE?

Adding books is a multi-step process that involves first adding the book you wish to display into your dashboard media library. To add a book(s) to the departmental website media library go to the BOOKS tab on the left side menu. Then:

  1. Click "Add New"
  2. Add a title for the book into "Add Title Here" field box. If your book has a subtitle please add this into the Subtitle field box further down the page. 
  3. Add a primary author - the Word Press system will first require you to have published yourself as a Faculty member on your departmental website, as the "AUTHOR" field works on a autofill system in order to link faculty to books (and vice versa). To find your author name click the first letter of your last name and it should appear from the list of faculty. If it doesn't then that means you (or the faculty member you're trying to add) does not have a published page on the department website.
  4. Additional Authors - if you wish to add additional authors who will not be appearing as Faculty members on your departmental website you can add their names to the "Additional Authors" field, adding a comma between each name.
  5. Adding a book cover - this adding a book cover image works exactly the same as adding a photo of a faculty member in which you'll link a media item from your desktop to the Word Press media library. We recommend only using book covers images which are vertically-designed otherwise they'll appear distorted or sideways. 
  6. "Click to Show on Books Page" - click this if you want your book to appear on your department's book published books page (if available). This would be in addition to the book appearing on your personal faculty page. 
  7. Publisher and Published Date - these are optional. 
  8. Book description - if you'd like to include a synopsis of your book, or a sample text, you may add this to the main text book at the top of the Add book page (under main title) - please note this text will only appear on the actual website page for the book, and nowhere else.
  9. Preview or Publish - once finished adding a book click either "Preview" to preview your work, or Publish to the website. 

The final step is to link the book you just added to your actual faculty page

  1. Go to your personal faculty page
  2. In the field "Books" click inside the text box and type the first letter of the title of your book and it should now appear as a book option to select
  3. Please note that some UCLA department pages limit the number of books that can be displayed with covers to two. If this is the case then you can add more titles in the "Additional Works" field on your faculty page. 
  4. The final step is to select the "update" box at the top of the page to ensure your book appears as a published item in your faculty page.
