Ben,

Thanks!   That is what I am looking for.   I’ll try to adapt what you have done.

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/

All –

Has anyone created a “widget” or a separate mini search box for their catalog on any of their web pages?   Is there standard widget code someplace?   Could someone send me some examples?

Something like this which we used on our Libguides for our old catalog:

We used a search form with html for the above:

<form action="http://libcat.asburyseminary.edu/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/57/5/?user_id=ACWEB" method="post" name="searchform" target="_blank">
<input name="user_id" type="hidden" value="userid" /> <input name="password" type="hidden" value="password" />
<input name="library" type="hidden" value="ALL" />
<input name="sort_by" type="hidden" value="ANY" />
<input name="relevance" type="hidden" value="off" />
<b><font size="3">Find Books:</font></b><br />&nbsp; <label for="searchdata1">
<input id="searchdata1" maxlength="255" name="searchdata1" size="15" type="text" /> </label>
<label for="srchfield1"> <select id="srchfield1" name="srchfield1">
<option value="GENERAL^SUBJECT^^^words or phrase">Keyword</option><option value="AU^AUTHOR^^Author Processing^author">Author</option>
<option value="TI^TITLE^^Title Processing^title">Title</option>
<option value="SU^SUBJECT^^^subject">Subject</option>
<option value="SER^SERIES^^Title Processing^series">Series</option>
<option value="PER^PERTITLE^^Title Processing^periodical title">Periodical Title</option> </select> </label>
<input class="searchbutton" type="submit" value="Search" /><br />
<b><font size="3">Library:&nbsp;</font></b> <select name="library">
<option value="ALL">ALL</option><option selected="selected" value="AC">Kinlaw Library</option>
<option value="KENTUCKY">KY Libraries</option><option value="ATS">Seminary Libraries</option>
<option value="FLORIDA">FL Libraries</option> </select></form>

  Anyone have any ideas / suggestions / thoughts for how to make this work for Evergreen?   Or is there code out there that is better / nicer / cleaner?

Thanks!
