 This is the end user training. So today we'll be going over how to create a book and how to publish a book and all the parts in between. So I wanted to start with a couple of examples of how to navigate around your network. So we've chosen Rebus Press today because they are our sister organization and they have an incredible collection of books in their catalog. So as with all networks when you come on the network page there is this page here and if you're a network manager as a lot of you are you will have seen how you customize your front page. So when you slide down a lot of networks will have their own catalog. So in this case I've pulled up the Rebus catalog and they have a large collection of books that you can filter through and these are all books and as I have explained probably in a network manager training or if you haven't been to one before not only is your network a website but each individual book is a site as well. So if we come into an example in the Rebus community book this is a book site and this is also a web book. So in this case I have pulled up introduction to philosophy, philosophy of mind and it's a beautiful book. There's the ability to read the book, buy the book and download the book and there's also the book information and the book cover. So this is a excellent example of a beautifully filled book and the end goal is for your book to look something like this when your book is fully populated and I wanted to take you through the reading interface on some of these books as well. So if we go into one of the chapters so here I chose another book they have a book called introduction to community psychology and this is also a very populated book and if we go back in their chapter six you can see that they've chosen a theme which has a specific typefaces and fonts and there is a box, a learning objective box, a picture with captions and hyperlinks and glossary terms amongst other cool features such as a YouTube video that's been embedded, lots of neat things going on. Another good example of a populated chapter is in our integrations.presspress.network. This is one of our test networks and it's a demo book but this is a great example because this uses hypothesis which is a open source annotation tool and this helps us this is a tool that is added on to press books that you can activate for each individual book in your network that's accessible to everybody and the administrator of the book has the ability to turn this feature on. So this is cool because you can annotate different parts of the book and it will take you directly to the annotation that you've made and the annotation itself has a lot of features such as adding pictures and you can share the annotation etc etc. I will go through that with you today as well. This is an h5p activity which is an interactive plugin that we've enabled for press books EU users that will not be covered today this is just getting started with press books and later in the month we're hoping to host a advanced publishing session that Steele or I will be hosting so this is a this is an example of a more complex chapter as compared to this one which just has the basic usages of writing a book and press books. Awesome so we can now get started with creating a book so when I come on to my network this is what you will see I am a network admin because I work for press books I am on every network as a network manager if you are a network manager you'll also see network admin your homepage and my books as an option if you're an end user you will only see this option and this option alone and underneath it you will see my catalog which will take you to the books that you have in your catalog or the books that you're a part of you can create a book and you can clone a book and I will go through all of this as well if you're new to press books and this is your first time looking in you will not see clone a book and once you have a book in your catalog you will see the feature so don't worry if you can't see it quite yet so if I go down I will see create a new book and I will start there so when I land on this page I will see all the books that I'm a part of as you can see I'm a part of quite a quite a few right now because I test on this network quite frequently and one thing I would like to note with press books is that you can change almost anything anything I often get a lot of questions regarding if I publish the book and make it public will I be able to private it and add other stuff and publish it again yes you will always be able to change any aspect of it and you'll always have a revision history that you can go back on and replenish that version again the one thing that cannot be changed is your web book address so you want to be careful when you're naming the url of your book so in this case I always call it test book which is very boring but for the purposes of the world I will call a test book I think someone is not muted if they if you could all mute yourselves I that'd be excellent thank you so much um and privacy is important because if your book is unpopulated you probably want your book to be privated so I am going to say nope I don't want my book to be public I'm going to create my book this site already exists so I'm going to test book three and while this is loading does anyone have any questions I see the chats going nothing in the chat so far I mean that needs to be answered by you okay excellent so same with before now I end up on my test book you will always be able to find your books under my books and it says test book down here so this is my book that I want now and it indicates which book you're on because it shows you a fourth option in your top bar there's a couple of things that you want to deal with right away or as you go along in publishing your book and that is users so if you're an instructor this is an incredibly important part of the book because you might want to add students or TAs to your book you can either add new depending on your settings if you have SSO or if you don't students will be either be able to log in on their own or you might have to add them as users to the book so either way this is a useful option because you can you as the administrator have control of the book have control over who you can add into your book so if your user is already on the network say they're a part of another book or they've logged in and have made themselves a user for your institution's network then you can add them as an existing user or if you know that they've never logged in before which is likely the case if your school doesn't have SSO because they won't have been able to log in themselves then you can add them as a new user and if you want to add all of your students at the same time and don't want to click the same add new button a hundred times then you can add you can bulk add users to this book and it will be one entry per line and this is really important this is the role so this allows you to choose how much control they have over the book so an editor will allow you to make to see the whole book and make edits throughout the entire book there is a guide chapter in the guide that I linked to regarding user lists and user roles and it tells you the amount of control they can have over a book so that's how you add users to a book and the next important part is getting started with your book so book info is where all of your book information as the title would suggest and your metadata will be contained so as I had said there's nothing final with press books this test book three cannot be changed but the title of your book can be changed so if I want to call it Amy's test book the book will not be called Amy's test book and the book title refers to this year the short title a lot of people if the title is really long then in the running had the title can be shortened so that's a useful feature and subtitle if you need it a lot of people will put their version numbers in here because it goes underneath the book title itself and then here you can add author editor translator reviewer etc etc other people have contributed to the book this is a little bit confusing but this has nothing to do with the user roles that I've shown you before so if I want to add a new contributor to this book you could either choose from the users who had been added to the books as it was shown here but I'm going to add steel so I can add him as a contributor and now he shows up he will show up under the book info in the book itself if I go down here then he would show up as an author down there and that goes oh I guess it didn't save but that is what would effectively happen oh there we go I don't know why that doesn't show up but continuing on publisher publisher city all of this information can be populated if you wish you can leave a blank and like I said you can always come back at any point in your book process even after your book has been completed the nice part of our press books as I mentioned is that nothing is ever final and that includes the book completion there's no hard copy to prove the book's completion you can always add it as you go along the ISBN information is useful if you want to publish your book and print and sell a print version of it and the language is here we have an incredible amount of languages if there isn't a language to your liking that you want you can always put it as a feature request and send us an email but this will effectively change all the metadata in your book sorry all the book information titles and this will change into the language of your choice as you put on here cover image this is where your book cover goes like the image there subjects subjects are cool because if you ever have a catalog then this is where the subject comes in handy because it you'll be able to filter according to the subject um I know a lot of your librarians this is the part that gets librarians excited because we have man my computer doesn't like the screen share and record at the same time um down here you're able to choose between a variety of licenses all of those are available to you and then the about the book sorry scale Amy would you just pause for a second and take us back up to the licenses so there's been a lot of questions in the chat about what it means to have a public book a private book what happens if a book is public who it's visible to etc and then someone was saying if I wanted to make an OER what would I need to do and so OER many people are familiar with it but it's an acronym that means open educational resource so if I wanted to make a book that was visible to anyone without having to log into press books what would I need to do um I will show you that in a second so copyright and the book being public or private are completely separate so the copyright refers to the the legalities of the book itself so if it's all rights reserved then you wouldn't be able to clone the book because the book is reserved to that author whereas making the book public or private is a different case so public and private are is an excessive is is an accessibility thing that we have implemented that exists on our organized so the organized module is where you would come to write the book so currently this book is private which means that if I were to log out let's go visit the book if I were to log out I am no longer I'm far out of the book now because the book had been set to private so only the users of this book would have access to this book and now if I sign back in I have the access to the book because I am my own user conversely if I added steel as a user to this book steel would also have access to this book whereas if we take for example this rebus community book I'm not signed into rebus community but I'm able to see this book which means that it is public and a question that we get very frequently as I had mentioned is um whether I'm able to switch back and forth between the two yes absolutely I'm able to switch back and forth whatever I want it's as simple as clicking the button I hope that answers everyone's questions steel is there anything else in the chat that Amy there's so much in the chat but for right now I think that was pretty much what you wanted to show I think showing the difference between a public book and a private book and what's visible yeah we'll talk a little bit later I think about how you can make individual content within a book public or private because you can get really granular and that's true of licenses as well but for now I think that's probably good I think that answered the questions that I was seeing let me just go back through and read through some of the chat questions um Debbie and Sarah um and Jiaxin I think those are the questions that I saw from each of you um if you had a follow-up question that you wanted to ask um Debbie Debbie asked if we're still working on a book and developing it should we begin with public anyway um that that is really up to you because so there the the visibility of a book is really dependent on how visible you want the book to really be because even if you set it to public the chances of someone finding that book without being on the network is pretty slim so it depends on how you want to go about it so for example oh man there's so much there's so much to press books that I I'll show you later because you can also keep the book public but if you have chapters in progress you can choose to withhold them from the web so you can choose to so this whole book could be public right now and even though this whole book is public the right the author of this book may have chosen to keep a specific chapter privated so it really depends on there's a lot of different ways that this could happen and it's and like I said even if the book is in progress and you have an incomplete chapter and your book is public if your book isn't in your catalog or an instructor is writing the book but they haven't shared the link to their students the chances of them finding it is quite low so it depends there's a lot of different ways that you can publicize and privatize your book and the specific chapters themselves um there's also a way that you can set passwords to the specific chapters themselves so if you want students working in collaborative groups but you don't want one group looking at another student's book another student another group of students chapters then you can also set passwords as well so there's a couple of different ways that you can there's actually there's a lot of different ways that you can go back and forth between um uh there's chapter level book level institutional level privatization of the book that you can manage um and as we go along in this session I will show you how that's possible and at the end if you have any more questions we can clarify that I hope that's okay for now steel what do you think I think that's great Amy um I think let's proceed and go ahead and show the next things you're going to show and then there'll probably be follow-up questions in the chat and then later but so far so good okay excellent so this is how so I'm going to end the book info section by just showing you that you can also add the tagline the short description and long description um with any book you have the tagline the short description down here and when you go down to the bottom of the book sometimes people choose to add a very long description as you can see here so those are the uh non-fun parts of the book but right now I'm going to show you the different methods of making a book and why press books EDU supports OER initiatives because at the end of the day we're here to show you why this investment that you've made into press books is a good one and I really like to I'm a very um I'm a very organized person and I like to explain the different methods of making a book I like to break it down into three parts so there's the bottom up method and that is creating a book from scratch so as I've shown you just now I went and created a book and my book is completely empty as I said there's a module called organize and this is where you would come to write write a book so you can add front matter a chapter add back matter etc etc there is the five R version so OER promotes five Rs which is retain reuse revise remix and redistribute which means that you're able to bring in different components from different open source texts and combine them in your book so that you have a text that can be catered to the students that you're catered to or you can make a book in the way that you want to make it by acquiring resources from different acquiring um chapters or texts from different users and then there's what I like to call the top-down method which is let's say if you really like a book and you want it on your own network or you really like a book or there but there's some things that you don't like then we have this option called cloning and it's like one of my favorite things because you can get a entire textbook from an open source uh resource sorry OER um that you can that our prospects API pulls every part of and you can have it on your network and this is great because all three of these methods allow you to have creative flexibility over what's in your book you can um as I had said uh bring in different you can use you can mix and match different parts of resources that you really enjoy using or that you find helpful and I think it's I think it's wonderful because you can have your own custom textbook and the return for and it saves students thousands and thousands of dollars because you're able to build the build your textbook according to the way that you want to build it and I think that's great um so I will go through each of those three right now so as I've shown you the bottom up method this is how you get started you would go to my books and create a create a new book and as as as a couple of you are asking so for example right now in my book in my test book if I visit my book I have the introduction chapter and appendix but as you can see in my organize I've shown them in web so let's say I don't want to show this chapter right now even if even though my book and let's say I said it's a public now when I log out I can still see this book but as you can see I've hid chapter one from the public from the web version and therefore it doesn't matter because even though this book is entirely public if my chapter one is in progress it won't show on my web book as public so I'm going to now sign back in but I am now me so I have full jurisdiction over what goes in my book so for example I'm going to add a chapter I want to say chapter two and now say I want to add a password because I only want this accessible to a couple of people I'm going to require a password and now anytime anyone goes in this book you can see that this chapter has a password but I am locked as myself so if I were to share this chapter say I send this back say that steel is a user on this book I can tell them that the password is one two three for five and he'd be able to now access this chapter as well so that's so those are a little bit of the functionalities of how you would go back and forth between different chapters and populate them to your liking and now I can also add a part and let's call this middle body for a lack of a more creative name and this will create different parts in the book as well so the nice part is you don't ever have to decide the order before you do something because you're able to move different parts throughout the book and it will relocate the relocated immediately so now if we go visit the book then you can see that it's been set up the way that I reorganized the one thing that I need to note is that you can't go back and so the book is really separated into three parts the front matter then the middle matter where all the chapters are in the back matter you can't switch between you can't go back and forth between the two so for example I can't drag appendix up here so those are that is how you would get started with organizing a book and then there is as I said the five r version so those are the five r's of OER and this is and the way that you would really do this is by going down to tools and going to import so not only do I have the parts that I've written myself I can now bring in different parts from different books so here I have a couple of books that I want to show you this is also Rebus book Rebus got to publishing open textbooks so far I'm sure this also has all these textbooks have incredible information in the field that they're promoting so I wanted to bring in this book this is an open open faculty patch book that's on our pressbooks.com network this is also a great book that was written by Fallon College faculty and then our one of our open source derivatives called Open Text BC have this excellent English book so using those three examples I will be bringing in different content so I've already downloaded these are the formats that are available to bring in to import a question that we get frequently is are we able to import PDF and the answer is no unfortunately we cannot bring in PDF so that's something to keep in mind so in this case I wanted to bring in the XML and earlier I had downloaded a the Rebus guide as an XML by using their download this book function here I'll also show you how you can add that on to your book at the end of this session and now when I begin import the nice part of the import import is that you can choose what you can bring in so let's say I just want to bring in licensing information and I want to make that a chapter when I import this election you will see that the book has been this chapter has been brought in to the part that I wanted I wanted as a chapter and it's been brought in as a chapter and I want this to show in the book itself so I'm going to see showing what so now this is in my book so now I'm going to go back to import let's say that I want to bring in this book but from but this book doesn't have a download function available so I'm going to go down to oops to the URL and click import from URL and begin import same thing as before so I'm going to say the shift keys and import selection so with all of these import options no matter the method or no matter the type the type of file the format of the file you'll be you'll you'll be given this option and as you can see it brought this information in as well and with the author name so that's this that's a very simple example of bringing in different resources from bringing in different chapters from different resources and reorganizing it in my book as I wish to and now I go into my textbook test book not my textbook you will see that all the chapters that I brought in are there as well and the last thing that I want to show you as I showed you is my favorite part the cloning and the cloning a book is really useful because lots of instructors will see books they like from a different network and they'll want to bring it in and the nice part about cloning that is different than bringing in an entire book from the import function is that it will clone over everything perfectly so that includes h5p activities all the media all the metadata everything that you could possibly think of it is exactly like having that book on that network but except now in your network the only thing with cloning is that you can only bring in bring it in from a press books network as it should because it is our it because it could it is all it's limited to the bounds of the press books universe so in this case as I'd said even though open tux bc is not necessarily they are not a press books edu network they're open source and they are a derivative of the press book network so I will be able to clone this and set somewhere really a question that we get a lot as well is can you call from lumen learning and yes you can so I'm going to put this as a source book URL and then I will say open text bc so this takes the longest because as I said our api is pulling in every piece of information that the that this book has and once this comes into our network you'll see that every part of this book looks identical except for the the heading and it's because we're on a different network um and this will take some oh I don't know why that's not working but this I think perhaps the uh this book has changed so I will take instead from the faculty patch textbook this should work a little bit better okay uh because this is going to take a little bit is there any question are there any questions that I should address steel who I'm kind of tired just from the chat it's been fun so a bunch of people were asking questions about import Amy yeah so asking about specifically importing different books from different file types I think I tried to answer those you covered the different file types that people can import from are you planning to show an example of an importer to later an importer to um yes absolutely so we'll show those examples for how to import files uh in a second yeah um yeah there's just a bunch of pretty advanced questions from all kinds of interesting people in the chat I'm trying to answer them in the chat um but maybe we'll take one or two of them in the in the in the video someone was asking specifically about XML imports yeah and we can show that one there was a question about h5p cloning whether that was a new thing I think Mallory asked that that we've been supporting h5p cloning for probably close to a year now I'll try to find the exact reference and put it in the chat for that um and Sarah asked what is the best way to incorporate a open stacks textbook so we've been having a little bit of trouble with open stacks because it seems like the the method for downloading there it's just we can't clone from open stacks because they're not a press box network so we've been getting a lot of questions because there's a lot of great resources on there and oftentimes in open stacks they will have a zip file with individual XML files and it's a bit of a pain and we're trying to maybe find a better solution for this but right now the best way to import um from open stacks networks is to look at uh the download options they have made available and download the zip file because they contain the XML files for each individual chapter inside of it and I'll add for the actual open stacks textbooks a number of press books users have already imported and cleaned them up into their press books networks and made them open so sometimes it's a question of just searching the open stacks title and adding the word press books to your search entry and you can usually find the press books network where it exists bc campus in particular has brought in I think like 30 of the open stacks titles and so their press books network often has many of them if it's a specific title you're looking for you can send us an email and we'll try to point you to where it might exist in press books once somebody's already brought in and cleaned up you can just use the cloning routine that Amy mentioned it will take a while but it usually will bring the book in for you and that's a big time saver so thanks to bc campus and others who've been bringing those into press books and cleaning them up um and to answer the import question um as long as your import matches so when you choose the file your the file type that you choose has to match the import type that you're selecting so if I wanted to bring in an xml and I go into the revist guide and they've made the xml version available all I'd have to do is download that make sure that the xml is chosen and choose the correct file type and it will it will begin the import for you automatically but the important thing to note here is that you are you are limited to the file type that you are able to choose from when you are importing and the max file type itself but um it's I think it's pretty rare that books are over 25 megabytes for a standard textbook many have over that but it's important to note that there so now I will show you my clone book so now that I've cloned over my book under my books I will see this brand new book and as you can see and when I go visit the book it looks identical to the book that I had cloned over from except I am on the university network that that we have as a testing network so it looks a little bit different but every the book itself looks identical and at the bottom it will say that the book it will say book source and where the book is cloned from and it says it may look it differ it may differ from the original um because as I know we are your you have the ability to remix and revise and update this book to your liking and this book has been made that way as I mentioned earlier with copyright it's important to note the copyright itself because if it's an all rights reserved book you won't be able to clone the book so that's something to keep in mind okay um now that I've gone through all of those different methods something that I wanted to mention is something that I wanted to go through is the is populating the book so right now my chapters are completely empty and I've told you how you can structure the book together but didn't really explain all the parts of making the book pretty so I will go through that now so there's a couple of parts to note on this page that are important um you can add media through this button here and I'll go through that in a little bit this is the visual editor and the part is up here so if you didn't want to drag like you did earlier using the organize as I've shown you can drag through different parts within the same bodies in the book so the front matter the middle matter in the back matter you're able to change them up so in this case if I wanted to change this the middle body I'm able to do so uh same with the organized page here I can choose to select or unselect the status and visibility of the book itself and revisions as well so I will go into that a little bit later and show you what it looks like when I want to go back to my earlier revision but the most important part to actually writing in the book itself is the visual and text editor so the visual editor is easy because it looks basically like all the icons and each of the buttons are are pretty uh self-explanatory or intuitive um they look similar to that of google docs or word so this is bold italicized etc etc a couple of functions that are cool is that there's a special character for accessibility reasons if you want to use this instead of your keyboard um you can create an anchor there's uh you can add in pieces of code if you'd like there's footnote and there's glossary terms so if I wanted to add a footnote I just have to draw my cursor and I don't think you can see this because it's on my browser but if I want to add a footnote here I can say uh this is a footnote and now you can see that there's a short code denoting the fact that this is a footnote and if I want to create a glossary term I can click this and I can the description can be um a piece of writing and I can insert and you can see there's also a short code for the glossary as well um the text editor is useful because if you know html and you prefer writing an html for some reason or another then you're able to do this on here um I'm not going to go too into it uh when we have the advanced um publishing session with prospects I will explain uh a stealer I will explain why uh using the text editor might be more useful but for the purposes of this session alone the visual editor is incredibly useful um a couple of other things that I wanted to go through is are the headings so for accessibility reasons and otherwise it's important that when you're creating your textbook to use the heading sequentially so if you use heading one then go to heading two next heading three heading four and this will make your book if someone were to export your book or to use it in somewhere else or for your purposes as well um it's nice because it will make your life a little bit easier if you were to have the headings um in a sequential manner use them in a sequential manner so let's just say heading one this is a heading and in fact I'm going to put this under here so it looks a little bit nicer um another thing that I wanted to show you is our tables and text boxes so you you are able to create tables in here and you can tell that they're cells and if you go here and click on table properties you're able to decide the lines and the grids and um the alignment that you want for your text boxes sorry for your tables and then another useful thing that a lot of people use are the text boxes so there's examples and learning objectives they're essentially the same um with different colors and you're able to change the colors and I'll show you um how that's done a little bit but these are useful because a lot of instructors will add in examples or pictures or h5p activities in here so that looks it stands out from the regular text in the background so in this way it's very very useful and similar to what you would find in a paper textbook except you you're always at the capacity to change them to your liking and a lot of people have asked us how we would be able to use this in a stem setting I actually studied chemistry at university and boy would it have not been nice to have a free textbook instead of spending a lot of money on all of those textbooks and it's very easy to add math um you just have to use the law tech short code so in this case I'm going to write in a very simple pthagorean theorem equation and you just need law tech and the uh law tech with a backslash at the end to denote the end of the code itself and the last thing that I wanted to show you here is as I mentioned earlier adding media so you always have the ability to add media up here and I am going to upload and I was eating strawberries earlier this morning and I wanted to add in the picture of strawberries and I got this picture from the ccsearchcreativecommons.org page and oops and the creator wanted to be quite credited so I am able to add in the their attributions down here the author their author URL and the source URL for the sake of time I'm not going to add it in because this book is going absolutely nowhere but you're able to that there and there's also alt text there as well for um accessibility purposes as well because the whole point of OER is that it's supposed to be accessible so the alt text will show up in the case that the picture doesn't render for whatever reason so I'm going to add that in and if I want to add a caption I can say oh I can say ripe strawberry so now the caption goes underneath as well and if you wanted to use a youtube video this youtube is a part of OMBeds which can be automatically embedded just by taking the title sorry taking the URL and inserting them into the chapter with no other effort it will automatically render so that's a really useful feature as well and the nice part about these as I had mentioned earlier is that they're able to be put into text boxes if you don't want them just floating around in the middle of your text okay so now I'm going to save and I'm going to go view my chapter and as you can see everything rendered the way that it was supposed to so my table doesn't look great right now because I didn't populate it but as you can see the footnote is there and you can go back and forth by clicking on the button my glossary term is there as well and whatever I put in will show up right underneath the text my image with the caption as I said if this image didn't render then you would get the alt text the video will play right as I click on the video because it's rendered well the example text boxes and the last part the math equation so math checks the tool that we use for rendering our equation um has rendered this Pythagorean theorem perfectly and the nice part is it will render it renders into an image and once you click if you right hand click yes right hand click on this then you can see with accessibility tools and settings you can trigger zoom and you can also there's zoom factors so it allows you it allows there's a bunch of different ways that math is accessible and it makes it so that we you can have any sort of text text that you wish to so I'm getting to the point in the devil where I've been talking so much that I'm suffering um and that's it so now when we go back into the admin of this book and go back can I can I ask you to um take a couple of questions that people had specifically about contributors so is that something you're planning to cover later or should we I think we can address it now okay so someone people were asking what's the difference between a user and a contributor why would you create a contributor and like how do you do it how do you give credit especially how do you give credit to someone if you're using an open text that you've remixed how do you use the contributor tool to give them credit so using the um when you I'm actually not still when you clone a book do the do they automatically bring in bring in the authors as the contributors into the cloned book yes the metadata for the contributors and metadata should come in when you clone a book but let's say in some cases you might have imported something from another source that wasn't press books and you have to manually produce the contributor info right so yeah so for the whole book you'd be able to do it here as I told you earlier and let's say I brought this I brought a book in from open text VC but they they're not a user on my book right because why would I add them in as a user into my book when I've brought their content in so you just come into the book info and you'd go down here and create a new contributor and as I had said um anyone from this book can now you can add them as a user or you can just add them in themselves so actually a common question we get is what if you want to make creative commons your contributor like is that is that a possibility or do they have to be a real person and the answer is no because we've made the book info all of these add new contributor add new editor add new author we've made it so that you can add in whoever you want without them having to be necessarily a real person or a user in your book so I can put in creative commons add new contributor and now I'm going to visit my book and oops still do you know why that's not showing sorry what's not showing I added the contributor as creative commons on here and it's not showing up in my book I think we ran into some kind of error there yes I have run into some sort of error but technically it should show up well you need to so you've added this as a contributor but then in book info sorry go back to book info available to be listed but you have to list them in one of those roles sorry that's why we needed to do yeah there we go so now sorry that that button was just to create a new contributor and now I can add creative commons see sometimes so complicated even I don't know so now excellent so now as a contributor creative commons is under there does that answer someone's question or would you just go a bit slower on this page so if you look at general book information here yeah these are the different fields that you can give people credit for so there's an author field and the author field is the one that displays at the top of the book info or at the top of the book home page there's an editor field that can have multiple contributors so would you show me how I could add say two editors to this book yeah so as long as you add as long as they are under the contributor list you are able to add so let's say we want to add zoe our friend oh I read this and editor oh my goodness there you are we want to add our friends at perva and zoe then we'd be able to do so and then we just have to click save but the important thing to note here is that they are made as a contributor they can't just be a user in the book they have to be made specifically as a contributor under book info okay and then that person could be credited for any one of those roles or all of those roles exactly yeah thanks I hope that answered the questions that I know there's a bunch of questions about contributors and how you'd use them hopefully that answers the questions that people are asking in the chat thanks for taking the detour Amy yeah of course the last couple of things that I wanted to show you it are the subsets of what I've just shown you in my test book underneath um chapter one so as I'd shown you I had used math here and the picture so those two things are important to mention because in your you have this media selection in the right hand side and this is where your media library is so you can either choose to populate your media library first and then put it into your book or you can add the images you can upload the images directly into your chapters and they will automatically show up in the media library so they go both ways so it just depends on what you want to do so in this case because I already uploaded in I uploaded the strawberry image directly from the chapter as you can see it shows up in the media library and you can there's also a separate button to add new or add new up here and the last thing that I want to share that's important is math jacks because math jacks is the tool which renders our math equations for us by default so you're able to if you see this image up here it means that math jacks is working and that the um and that this image that you see in your chapter any math equations that you see should automatically render themselves as well and you're able to see as you can see I use this with uh notation with square back at law tech and then square back it with uh back uh backward slash law tech but you're able to also use different uh uh sorry um tags as well to add in your equations and let's say I am super unhappy can someone mute themselves I'm still hearing a lot of background noise thank you um on the edit page um on the revisions if I go to browse apparently it doesn't like my computer very much I think this network is tested on quite a bit so I think that might be an issue on our end but if you were to do this on your network then you should be able to see browse and once you click on it you will have the option to go back and forth between previous versions and they'll show side by side and you're always able to restore a previous version that you've saved so if you're someone who likes to be able to go back on your mistakes a lot or go back on something that you've done I would recommend saving a lot because as you're saving it will show up as a new revision every time okay so that is how you populate the individual chapters within the book so now I've shown you how to create the book how to structure the book and how to populate the book so now let's make our book pretty or let's design the book the way that we want to so this is what you would so where you would come to is appearance and there's three core features of appearance that are important so first of all is themes by default unless you've managed this for your setting sorry unless you've changed this for your specific network by default most books will be McLuhan because when we set up networks we set the default of each book to be McLuhan and this is our core theme so all other 21 themes are built off of McLuhan as we like to call it the child of McLuhan but there's 21 themes that are available to you and as you can see there's different you can see the typefaces when just upon coming onto this page if you want to see the specifics of each theme then you would have to activate but as I've said you can always change the theme whenever you want to and the nice part is it won't change anything in your book it won't remove any content it will just change the colors and the fonts etc etc as the textboxes may look different but if you're not happy with it you can always change back and nothing will have changed everything will look the way that you you had it expected it to look I wanted to go through a couple of the commonly used themes McLuhan is used very commonly for textbooks especially Andreessen is used quite a bit same with down here Graham Jacobs and Malala so Malala's our newest theme and it looks very pretty in my opinion it looks very modern and it is the only theme by default with a little bit of color in the text it's this beautiful dark blue and it's cool because all the themes are named after authors theme options is where you can come to make specific changes so depending on a theme that you've chosen so let's say we go up here and I want to change to Malala if I activate this now when I go to theme options I will see that it's it's it's the changes that I'm making to the Malala theme for my specific book so you can you have these global options to whether or not display your parts and chapters there's a lot of things that you can explore down here and if your book is written in a different language there's language and script support so if you have if you're using a non-Arabic language if you decide to choose from here then this feature will adequately support the non-Latin language you're using so that they so that all the text renders properly and as I said you can change the text box colors down here the way that you like and then you have some different options for web for pdf and for ebook because those are the options that we have in exploring your book and then we have custom styles so if you are good at css then you have the option you can see the core css that's been written by us and if you want to change them you can put them down here so if you want to make your glossary term smaller than you're able to put the you're able to change this all you just have to make sure that your classes are targeted properly and you also have to make those changes definitely for ebook i sorry web ebook and pdf so those are the stylistic changes that you can make and as i said they're always under appearance the now we're nearing the end so i can take a bit of a breather um as i shown you earlier i'm actually going to go on to here and try to close the rest of these because it's very cluttered so i wanted to show you hypothesis really briefly because um a lot of instructors like to use this for a variety of different reasons because press books as um honor in creating the book we get a lot of questions as to whether or not you can make comments referring to specific text or make edits to the book and the answer is no it doesn't serve like a google doc or a word file but um hypothesis serves so useful because you're able to highlight text and write notes on it directly which makes it incredibly useful when you're trying to target specific text and it's also useful if you have it if as an assignment tool because if you are an instructor and you want students to rate um blog post or um a short paragraph or even an essay about um the book and refer to it then you are able to uh make them do so on hypothesis so i'll show you how that works really quickly so under settings right above math jacks for your book you will see hypothesis and once you click on it um you will have the settings so um for each book you will have to turn on hypothesis separately so right now it's turned off because i don't have it turned on for anything so i want to allow it for chapters and i don't want the sidebar open by default and yes i would like to highlight all my default but it will make a difference right now because my book doesn't there's no highlights yet so now when i save and go into my test book as you can see i'm on the front page of my book but now if i go into a chapter you will see that hypothesis is enabled on the right hand side so if you went on a back matter front matter you wouldn't see this because i've only enabled hypothesis for a chapter so by clicking this little arrow here you can choose to open or close and this is very easy to use the one thing to note is that you must be logged into hypothesis and you cannot log in using your pressbooks um network id and when i first heard this i was like why like that makes it so inconvenient but the but actually that is the beauty of hypothesis because it is an open source annotation tool that can be used in wherever it is implemented so having a specific hypothesis login id and password will allow you to make annotations anywhere where hypothesis has been enabled outside of pressbooks um so it's really easy to get started once you're logged in so i'm logged in as myself right now all i have to do is highlight and click annotate and it will automatically highlight the text for me and i can say this is an example and i have the option to post it to only me which means that i would have to be logged in as amy.pb to see it or logged in as or um if i put it as public now anyone can see this as long as this chapter is public i would be able to see this anyone would be able to see this annotation and the nice part is once you click on it it will directly open and take you there so hypothesis is really useful because it also supports markdown and you can add in math equations into here if you'd like as well the same way um you can add images if you'd like links you can also add in a quote and it makes it really useful because you're able to annotate you have so much flexibility in your annotation and you can add tags to filter as well the nice part is if you wanted to share this if you wanted to share this annotation now all you would have to do is click this button and i can share this with anyone that i want so if i'm a student and um i'm looking for annotations that are useful and studying for a test and if i were to send this to my friend it would take them directly onto this page open this annotation open hypothesis and show them exactly where this annotation is and what the annotation says something that also might be useful for instructors is to create a new private group i can say test group two and if i create this book now anyone with this link will be added to my group so if you want to create if you're an instructor and you want to create different groups for specific sets of students then you can have different groups going so that they would be able to they would be able to annotate without necessarily overcrowding the page with too many annotations so that's really useful and the last important thing to note here is once you click on this little page button you can create notes for the page so you don't have to annotate anything of particular but this is useful if you want to make general announcements or make general comments about the page so that is how you use hypothesis i like to do this in the intro session but because it ties in really well into using um hypothesis sorry it ties in really well into using an open textbook as a interactive learning tool that students also can write in um and the last last thing that i want to show you is exports so this book is visible on the web but let's say you want to make this book available as a pdf or an ebook so that anyone is able to read them without internet or just for whatever reason so now when i go into the admin page sorry so i know the chat's popping off but i am almost done on the export module everything's good keep going okay excellent so um on the export page you will see your theme so that you're exporting in the way that you want to and these are the supportive formats and the other formats um you can use them to your liking wherever and i'm going to say i want to export this as used to xml and yeah that's it so depending on how big your book is that determines how long it takes to export but these are the exports that i have available to me but as you can see on my book i still don't have the ability to download and it's because i haven't made that available yet by exporting you're only making these exports available to yourself so now i can download the pdf email it to my students email to whoever is necessary whoever wants the book but if i want the book to be available to be downloaded as this book had and many other books had that all i would have to do is go into settings go to sharing and privacy and turn this on and now when i click refresh the the versions that i exported are now available for download so there's no specific way to make the specific versions downloadable it's just you have to whatever is on your export here will immediately be shown here as long as you've enabled show the download function so let's say i don't want xml to show anymore i want to keep the xml to myself i just have to delete this and once i've deleted it the xml version is now gone so that's it that is the entire session um i know it was long and now we can take questions in the chat
