[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: Widgets on web for searching evergreen catalog?

[Benjamin Kalish]

We have one that lets the user choose between searching our website or the
library catalog. It was pretty easy to set up, and would be easier if you
didn't give folks the choice to search the website. We made it very simple
by making it always do a keyword search and always search our scope. We
then provided a link called "advanced search" for folks that wanted more
options. You can see it at http://forbeslibrary.org/
