PRESTO Widgets: E-Research Search Form

Follow the steps below to create a customized E-Research search form for your users. In the final step, the PRESTO widget generator will produce a snippet of HTML code that you can copy and paste into a web page.

Scope of e-resources: Included are all e-resources and e-journals offered by E-Research that can be searched as a group (these are the resources available under the "Cross Search" option in E-Research). As of January 2010, there were over 250 cross-searchable e-resources and e-journals.

About the search forms: "Quick Search" is a simple Google-like form that searches across resources you designate as "Primary" in Step 1. The "Advanced Search" form offers the user a choice of resources to search; resources designated as "Primary" are searched by default and "Secondary" resources are optional. You can use one or both forms as needed.

Need help? To report a problem or ask question about this form, please contact the Widget support team.

Select directly from the list below, or narrow the list by entering a part or all of a resource title keyword.
Indicate whether the resource is primary (used for both Quick and Advanced searches) or secondary (offered as an additional choice in Advanced Search).
