[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Widgets on web for searching evergreen catalog?

[Jane Sandberg]

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).
