We have not deployed feature to bibliographica.org yet but if you load
up some local data (do paster fixtures) and then visit e.g.

<localhost:5000/entry/GB9361575>

You should see collection stuff in sidebar (you may need to login to
actually create a collection).

We're hoping to have this finally and live in next 1-2 weeks.
