Basecamp instructions for trying out the feature using ready-made test widgets.
To make your own widgets, this ProQuest document (automatic download) and 1-minute video are helpful.
Note that the book lists are dynamically displayed, so if you add more titles to Alma that meet your criteria (e.g. if you use the Series, Genre, Awards, or other data source), they will appear in your widgets automatically.
This list is not exhaustive, and it's worth exploring the other data sources such as Series, Genre, Awards, etc.
1. Manually input ISBNS. Make sure ISBN is from catalog record, and NOT from the Libguide "Book from the Catalog" feature in the "Add/Reorder" drop-down menu. This list of ISBNs was manually copied from this Indigenous Studies page, but only a few titles are showing due to ISBN mismatch between the LG and the catalog. Correct by replacing "bad" ISBNs with ISBNs from the catalog (see box at right).
2. Enter a webpage URL for Syndetics to harvest ISBNs. This list is from this Anti-Black Racism page, but only a subset of titles are appearing due to a mismatch between the LG and the catalog. To correct, get the ISBNs from the catalog record, NOT the Libguide (see box at right), and re-create the widget using manual input of the ISBNs described in method 1.
3. Specify a Library of Congress class, in this example, LCC = RT62 (Practical Nursing).
This is the corresponding screen in Syndetics.
The available display styles, the first 3 which you can see at left, are:
Here is the Anti-Black Racism example in a grid. You may need to custom size the LG box (edit the box's CSS code) and Syndetics widget for the grid style. I have not done so in order to show you the limitations of this style.
There are two ways to add the widget to Libguides.
1. ADD THE WIDGET CODE TO THE SOURCE CODE OF THE LIBGUIDE BOX
Copy the code from Syndetics Unbound > Widgets > (choose widget).
Add both lines of code to a Libguides box by clicking on "Source" and pasting the code.
2. USE THE "ADD MEDIA/WIDGET" OPTION
Copy the code from Syndetics Unbound, and in the Libguides box content options, choose "Add Media/Widget". Paste the code into the pop-up box.
