All – I don’t know if I sent this after we set this up. But here is a link to our libguide where we are using a search form to search our evergreen catalog.

Our page has a search box and link to My Account and Advanced search: http://www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/library. These will be much more visible in the new version – bigger, better. We moved to Evergreen after this website was created, so it’s not very pretty. We use the catalog to create many widgets embedded within our site: http://www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/library/recommended-reads-summerhpl-2015 -Holly From: Open-ils-general [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org<mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org>] On Behalf Of Benjamin Kalish Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:33 AM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Information requests- websites It's very easy to make a search widget that allows you to start an Evergreen search from your library's website. We've done it at our library with Wordpress, but it should be equally easy in any system that will let you write HTML. Our search form is slightly more complicated in that it allows you to choose whether to search our website or the catalog. This requires some Javascript and some some server-side scripting (in case someone has Javascript disabled) but is still pretty easy. You can see our website at http://forbeslibrary.org/. I've also included a screenshot of the "widget".

Our current vendor will not be doing websites in the future. Can you let me know if you are using WordPress or Drupal along with Evergreen. How does the website interact with the catalog? Are you using any special widgits to make the integration easier? Have you built the website in house or use a vendor? What vendors can you recommend? Please forward examples of your websites so we can get a better idea of what is being done by libraries with these platforms. Mina C.
