Searching the catalogue from your browser search box

I've just added an open search plugin that will allow you to add the Eastern Regional Libraries catalogue as a search provider in the search box in your browser (at present Internet Explorer and Firefox). Once the catalogue is added to the list of search sites you can type your author, title or subject in the search box, select ERL catalogue from the search list and enter. You'll be taken straight to your list of results.

The plugin comes courtesy of one of our members, Jason Peart. You'll need to visit the Browser plugins and addons page to add the search plugin. Follow the directions on the page. Let me know through our contact form if you have any problems.

Cheers, Maryanne
