Embed an ask-a-librarian link in a web page

If you embed an Ask-a-Librarian link in your organization’s web page, a visitor to your web page can click the link to send a reference question to the library.

Note:
This feature is available only if the library has enabled it and does not require the user to log in to submit a question.

To place an “Ask a Librarian” link on your organization’s web page:

  1. Go to the ContentXChange page of the organization’s community record. See Access ContentXChange in PowerPAC.
  2. On the ContentXChange tabbed page, under Ask-a-Librarian link, click Get Code.

The Create an ask-a-librarian link dialog box opens.

  1. Click Get code on the dialog box.

The code snippet is displayed in the HTML code box.

  1. Copy the code, and paste it into your web page.
  2. Click X in the upper right corner of the Create an ask a librarian link dialog box to close it.
