Getting the Library Out of the Library

My teammate Amy is a wizard. Today, she added a line of code to our Library homepage so that when you go there, you can add our Library catalog to your IE7 or Firefox search box. Go ahead, try it. I’ll wait here.

Back? Good, because there’s more. She also created a widget for your iGoogle page which also allows you to search our catalog. There are now two ways to search our catalog without having to go to our site at all. Pretty nifty, eh?

    We use SirsiDynix’s iBistro for our catalog. As for how she did it…I honestly don’t know.

    lol Thanks, Josh. :D It’s all magic…

    I recommend going to each site and going through their documentation. ;-) Google’s is painful, so best to take an example and see what they did.
