Hello, within each PressBooks book, under Book Info, there is a drop-down menu labeled “Institutions”:
How does this list get populated, and how can we add institutions to the list?
Thanks!
Lauren
@Lauren_Magnuson1 this list is a JSON file included in pressbooks/pressbooks: pressbooks/institutions.json at dev · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub. What institution(s) would you like to add?
Could you please add these institutions? All should be under United States of America/Indiana.
Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary
Christian Theological Seminary
Earlham College
Concordia Theological Seminary
Goshen College
Grace College and Theological Seminary
Oakland City University
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
Saint Mary’s College
Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology
Thank you!
@Lauren_Magnuson1 I’ve created this GitHub issue for your request: Add new institutions in Indiana · Issue #3027 · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub. It’s in our backlog and seems pretty straightforward. Hopefully we’ll be able to include this in a future release of Pressbooks.
YAY! Thank you so much @SteelWagstaff. I think we might try to update our json file locally and if so, we might submit a pull request, which will hopefully be helpful.
Thanks!
Lauren
Sounds great. If you do – the new Indiana institutions would go here: pressbooks/institutions.json at 497e2514286909dc8923cf5191807aeeff9759f2 · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub. They should use codes beginning with US-IN-038 and include names and URLs for each institution you’d like to add. I’m going to see if I can open a PR in the next 30 minutes for this, since it’s on my mind.
Saint Mary’s College was already included in the institutions list. The others have been added via this PR: #3029. We’ll try to get this merged and tested this week and included in next week’s planned release.
Hi - I would like to request an institutional change to your source code? Mount Royal College in Alberta, Canada has been Mount Royal University for some time.
Hi @SarahS thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ve opened a PR which should address this: fix: change name of Mount Royal University by SteelWagstaff · Pull Request #3444 · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub. Once tested and merged, it will be included in the next production release of Pressbooks.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Can you please add this institution?
Country name: Turkey
City Istanbul
University Name Bosphorus University
hi @ztuman, thanks for your request. We will be adding Bosphorus University to the next release of Pressbooks with its official name Boğaziçi University. It will display like this: chore: Add Boğaziçi University (Bosphorus University) to institutions list by cmurtagh · Pull Request #3621 · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub
Could you please update “Yukon College” to “Yukon University” in the list of institutions in Pressbooks?
This change occurred in 2020 (https://www.yukonu.ca/news/202005/yukon-college-now-yukon-university).
hi @dshaykewich just opened a PR to update that: Fix: Update Yukon University name by SteelWagstaff · Pull Request #3776 · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Can you please add this institution?
Country name: Malaysia
City : Kota Kinabalu
Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS)
@NOOR_HAPIPAH_BINTI_S Happy to help. Just opened a pull request that will add this institution: chore: add requested institution by SteelWagstaff · Pull Request #4115 · pressbooks/pressbooks · GitHub. It should hopefully be available in our next release.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is not in the list. Could we be added, please?
