In this lesson, learn how to add a Fetch widget (search box) to your school website, school library website, or learning management system. Adding a widget will allow your students to get immediate results without having to stop on a landing page. If you wish to add a button or link for users to click and access your Fetch landing page, please complete the previous lesson, Linking to Fetch.
To create the code for a Fetch widget, use INFOhio's Fetch widget generator:
If you use Google sites, you can easily embed widgets using a Google Gadget:
Please note: The Fetch widget is the recommended option for embedding a search box on a library or school webpage. The Fetch widget may not function properly when embedded in some LMSs. If you experience a problem when using the Fetch widget embed code, try obtaining a new widget code from the Fetch widget generator. As an alternative, if your school library uses INFOhio automation, you can find your library landing page at https://www.infohio.org/opac, copy the URL associated with your school library, and link to that URL within your LMS or on your website.
