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).

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!

Jennifer
