Hi Jennifer, Here's a very basic HTML widget for searching our consortium's catalog. You may need to add fields and style it according to your needs, but perhaps this will get you started: https://gist.github.com/sandbergja/a2c00edff534689bab36
You can also get a lot of this HTML from your Evergreen catalog itself. For example, if you wanted to include a dropdown list of libraries in your widget, you can simply copy the HTML that appears between lines 116-183 in the source of your catalog's main page ( http://evergreen.asbury.edu/eg/opac/home/AU -- press Ctrl + U to get to the HTML source in Firefox). -Jane On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 7:47 AM, Walz, Jennifer <jlw...@asbury.edu> wrote: > All – > > > > Has anyone created a “widget” or a separate mini search box for their > catalog on any of their web pages?
