Library Search Bookmarklets

These links create Favorites / Bookmarks which let you search our Catalogue or CINCH Community Information Database from selected text from any web page in your web browser.

Add a Quick Search Bookmarklet

Simply use your mouse to right-click these links, and choose "Add to Favorites" (I.E.) or "Bookmark This Link" (Mozilla/Firefox) (your links bar may be a good location so that it is easily available).

Search Tutorial/Example

Create a Favorite/Bookmark as described above (start with the library catalogue for practice).

Go to a web page and with your mouse highlight a word or phrase somewhere in the text that you would like to search for. You might like to start with the title of a book or name of an author - use one of these for practice:

  • John Grisham
  • The Da Vinci Code
  • Asterix and Obelix

With the text still highlighted in the web page click the Favorite/Bookmark in your browser.
