Custom Search Boxes for Bearcat

If you are interested in setting up a custom search box for a cluster of databases in Bearcat (such as all the psychology databases in Bearcat or all the accounting databases in Bearcat), let me know. Saad and I were able to figure out how to get them to work on and off campus. You can see examples of these custom search boxes on the following LibGuides:

  • The Finding Articles page on Louise’s Management guide (look for the box labeled “Bearcat Search for Business and Management”)
  • The Getting Started page on my Literature guide (look for the box labeled “Literature Databases”)
  • The Getting Started page on my Philosophy guide (look for the box labeled “Philosophy Databases”)

The code for these custom search boxes can be embedded in all sorts of places: web pages on the library site, blogs, wikis, etc. As an example, I’ve added the code for Louise’s business and management search box to this post:


Not sure where to start your search? Try Bearcat Search, which searches multiple databases at the same time.
