OPAC URLs #
Each library is required by State Library Standards to provide a link to their OPAC on their website.
The individual library OPAC link can be constructed by adding the unique library branch or system org unit ID to the following URL: https://evergreen.lib.in.us/eg/opac/home?locg=xxx
Example: https://evergreen.lib.in.us/eg/opac/home?locg=73
OPAC + Carousel URLs #
Similar to OPAC URLs, OPAC Carousel URLs are constructed for libraries choosing to display locally customized carousels on their OPAC homepage. The URL can be constructed by adding the unique library branch or system org unit ID to the following URL:
Libraries can find their org unit IDs by running the report entitled “Org Unit Listing” in the EI Templates > Miscellaneous folder or viewing the Evergreen Indiana Membership Directory.
OPAC Widgets #
A couple of basic widget forms are available to add to your website. They may be styled to fit the aesthetic of your website as desired.
Option 1: Form with search type #
This one has a dropdown so patrons can pick their search type. Replace the “LIBRARY” with your library’s shortname or org unit ID.
<form method=”get” target=”_blank” action=”https://evergreen.lib.in.us/eg/opac/results“>
<input alt=”Location” name=”locg” type=”hidden” value=”LIBRARY” />
<input alt=”Search Submit” name=”query” type=”text” />
<select id=”input” tabindex=”6″ name=”qtype”>
<option value=”keyword” selected=”selected”>Keyword</option>
<option value=”title”>Title</option>
<option value=”author”>Author</option>
<option value=”subject”>Subject</option>
<option value=”series”>Series</option>
<option value=”bookplate”>Digital Bookplate</option>
</select>
<input class=”top_buttons_search” type=”submit” value=”Search Evergreen Indiana” />
</form>
Option 2: Simple keyword search #
This one is more streamlined and only does a keyword search; results will exclude digital bookplate records. Replace the “SHORTNAME” with your library’s shortname or org unit ID.
<form action=’http://evergreen.lib.in.us/eg/opac/results’ target=’_blank’ method=’GET’>
<input type=’text’ alt=’Input Box for Catalog Search’ id=’query’ name=’query’ value=” placeholder=’Search our Catalog’>
<input type=’hidden’ id=’qtype’ name=’qtype’ value=’keyword’>
<input type=’hidden’ id=’locg’ name=’locg’ value=’LIBRARY’>
<input type=’submit’ value=’Search’ class=’form-submit’>
</form>
