NeedleSearch
I had no idea that NeedleSearch could be so handy!
We have access to a couple of subscription databases, one of which NeedleSearch ties in with effortlessly, the other doesn’t work so well, but that is they way the search is set up, using frames and javascript for links.
But pleased to announce that both the Art College OPAC, and the County OPAC work fine!
The advantage of NeedleSearch is that it cuts out the “opening bookmark” stage of getting to the search page. You can simply select the search engine, add your keyword (multiple fields are also supported) and one click and you are away!
