Library database search box widgets
A growing number of library database providers are making customizable search box widgets available to subscribers. Vendors like Ebsco, Gale, Proquest, and Facts on File all simplify the process of adding a search box to a website (or CMS like Blackboard) into a few steps that result in “copy and paste” code.
I mentioned Ebsco’s tool previously. Here are a few more vendors I came upon recently for my library:
-
ProQuest Search Widget Creator
-
Gale Widgets
-
Facts on File
- link may not work if you are not a current subscriber
-
CredoReference
- subscribers need to contact support for “HTML search box code”
Do you know of others?
