Just a quick note to let you know that we’ve got a couple of new browser plugins you can install to put UNL Libraries searching capabilities right into the built-in search box of either Firefox or Internet Explorer, in case you aren’t a fan of the full-fledged search bar.
Head over to our brower plugins page to install them.
So last week I mentioned that might be some more search tools available this Monday. Well, after working with them a bit, I’m going to have to say - check back next week. The search plugins aren’t quite ready for a release, even a beta one.
I do want to say thank you to all of the students who stopped by Love Library last week to be part of our Invitation to Explore event. I was pleasantly surprised at the reaction for our search bar. The search UNL Libraries from other website, like Amazon.com, feature was universally liked. There are plans to add a few new features to that search bar, but if you have ideas feel free to send me an email or comment on the blog.
The UNL Libraries BetaZone spotlights our projects and experiments in web technology to provide new services and improved access to resources for the University of Nebraska - Lincoln community.
