@SamTorrez Thanks for your great presentation! I'm going to have to review your guide as we recently moved our website to LibGuides. This should help me revise some of my problem spots! Marilyn

Someone was asking about the Search Widget that I use on our home page from the event yesterday. I said I would post the code for the custom search form outside of what LibGuides have.

Here is the form code. In the Action field enter the url with the search "search?query=" attached at the end.

<form  role="search" method="get" action="" target="_blank">

<span class="hidden-sm hidden-xs">On the go? Search our online ebooks and audio book collection.</span>

<div style="padding-top:1%;">

<input type="text" name="query" class="input-sm" placeholder="Search Overdrive" > <button class="btn btn-info"><i class="fa fa-search fa-lg" aria-hidden="true" sr-only="search"></i></button>

</div>

</form>

This was for our ebook search to our Overdrive. After I add the code I had to do some custom CSS. Hope this helps.
