Displaying Biblio Entries on User Profile Pages

Category: 

  • Question

Hello:

For the site I am working on department faculty information is being displayed using the user profile pages. The department would like to include selected publications by each faculty member on their profile pages. What would be the best way to go about setting this up?

The two ideas I had are:

1. Use an entity reference field to allow specific publications to be selected for each user. One drawback to this approach is the entity reference field will list all publications in the system, it can be a bit awkward for the administrator having to sift through the whole list.

2. I noticed each user has Biblio settings including a checkbox for "Show my publications on my profile page". It also appears you can link Biblio authors to specific user accounts. Where can I find more documentation on how these settings work, in particular regarding linking authors to a specific user account?

Thanks for your help!
