Search Tripod with ONE CLICK
One of the many things we've learned from the Tripod survey conducted a few weeks ago was that our students often use other sites (like Amazon) to find the exact title of a work, so that they can then look it up in our catalog. In order to make that process a little easier (as we work on more long term solutions), we've developed a few handy bookmarklets.
A bookmarklet looks like a link on a webpage or a bookmark in a browser, but it adds "one click functionality". Basically, you can search Tripod from any website with just one click. Watch this really short video to see them in action or read on!
To install a bookmarklet in Firefox or Safari, just drag the link below into to your bookmark bar or right click and select Bookmark this link. In Internet Explorer, right click the link and select Add to favorites.
To use them, just highlight some interesting text on a page, then click the bookmarklet. Tripod searches for those terms and presents you with the results. That easy.
