TRAIL Tools

 

TRAIL Widget

The TRAIL widget is a search box that can be added to your LibGuides or webpages allowing users to search the TRAIL archive easily. It brings the search interface to your users!

Librarians using Springshare’s LibGuides software are familiar with the availability of many search widgets and the customization features available. 

Example of the TRAIL Widget used in a Technical Report LibGuide at Iowa State University.

The TRAIL Widget Code can be found on the right side of the TRAIL LibGuide.
