For Faculty: How to bring the Library to your students: Widgets for Article Databases

This guide will bring together everything, from services to widgets, that a faculty member needs to bring the best research tools to their students.

Search Widgets for Article Databases

Below you will find our most popular database widgets.  Each box contains the widget itself, follwed by its code.  The code can be cut and pasted into an html file, whether in Microsoft Word, FrontPage or directly into BlackBoard.

If you have any difficulty with the boxes or would like to request widget code for your favorite database, please contact Bridget Faricy.

What is a widget? And why should I use them?

A widget is a small piece of html code that places a dynamic element into your webpage from another source.  Here the widgets are exclusively search boxes for library materials.  Other types of widgets include clocks, stock tickers and weather forecasts.

Our search widgets allow you to place reliable search engines right where your students are.  For example, your assignment sheet, if you use Word's HTML option, could have widgets. 

Widgets we can't do...

Search widgets could not be created for:

  • OSearch Databases
  • Engineering Village
  • AccessMedicine, AccessPharmacy, etc.
  • AP Images
  • Factiva
  • CSA Databases
