| - | ====== Creating Search Widgets for Electronic Resources ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Generating code ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== EBSCO ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Go to the toolkit at [[http://supportforms.epnet.com/eit/searchboxbuilder/]] | ||
| - | * Select the databases you want to include in the search set | ||
| - | * Enter the proxy prefix in the authentication box: http://silk.library.umass.edu:2048/login?url= and select “IP address” and “referring url” | ||
| - | * Follow the remaining steps – box style, title, etc. | ||
| - | * Create search box and copy code from box. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== CSA ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Go to [[http://www.csa.com]] | ||
| - | * Select “Quick Link-Administrative Tools” from left column | ||
| - | * Sign in with UN and PW (See | ||
| - | * Select “Search Widget” tab | ||
| - | * Select and move database(s) to include in search | ||
| - | * Enter proxy prefix: http://silk.library.umass.edu:2048/login?url= | ||
| - | * Select search box style options. Note: recommend increasing “Length of text box” to max. 60 | ||
| - | * Create search box and copy code from box. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Pasting code ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | NOTE: Code includes javascript, so you can insert it to a system that supports it, such as an html page or a LibGuide. The library content management system and university blogs do not support javascript. | ||
| - | |||
| - | LibGuide: | ||
| - | * Login to your LibGuide and add a new box=Rich Text/Dynamic Content/Scripts. Give title and create box. | ||
| - | * Select “Add text” to generate editor and move from “Rich Text Editor” (default) to “Plain Text Editor”. IMPORTANT NOTE: Code seems to get chopped off if added and saved in the Rich Text Editor. | ||
| - | * Paste widget code into Plain Text Editor and add any explanatory text, such as what databases are included in search. Save changes. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Troubleshooting ===== | ||
| - | * A space randomly inserted between the proxy prefix and the Ebsco url in the code breaks the search, but it can be fixed by removing that space by hand. | ||
| - | * If you have a trouble with a widget, contact Christine Turner and I’d be happy to work with you to fix it. | ||
