Add citation format to the document viewer

[ryaanahmed]

@erica02139 has the format that the Department of Distinctive Collections prefers

Working on this on the citations branch.

@erica02139 -- do you have the citation format? If so, could you post here, so we can add it to the document viewer?

[erica02139]

The one I have is: "Records of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computation Center AC.0062, Department of Distinctive Collections."

This is all the DDC articulated: since it's long, we'd talked about a "Show Citation" button on the doc viewer, so the full name wouldn't need to appear on each (and possibly, could include box/folder when clicked). Does this answer what's needed?

@ryaanahmed @samimak37 -- also, if something more specific useful, please lmk!

[ryaanahmed]

@erica02139 -- Yep, thanks.

@samimak37 already implemented the show citation bit-- just wanted to know what format they asked for... which is what Samantha already put on the site, so apparently I'm just behind the times!

@samimak37 -- if you want to take this, let's make the citation that we show dynamic and richer, to include the title of the specific document, author, as well as box/folder number, in addition to the information about the collection that we show now. Let's research an appropriate citation format.

I'm taking the 'deploy-ready' tag off of this issue, though, as what we have already is sufficient for launch.

I think citation should be one full citation for the document, e.g.
"Cohn, Harvey (1947, June 2) Riemann Function. Records of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computation Center (AC.0062 Box 1, Folder 16). Department of Distinctive Collections, Massachusetts Institute of Technology."
(copied style mostly from here: https://dal.ca.libguides.com/archivalresearch/citation/APA)

I've just implemented most of this except author and date (as dealing with multiple authors, orgs, etc., will take a little bit of doing).

[mscuthbert]

yes, this seems right to me.

[erica02139]

Definitely agree about using an actual format! Can work in individual source details throughout the summer, too.
