Get your library's BrowZine URL by going to www.browzine.com, clicking the "Choose My Library" button, and selecting your library from the list. The resulting page will be your library's unique BrowZine URL.
Advantages Using your unique BrowZine URL, rather than the generic www.browzine.com, connects users directly to your collection without the need to enter credentials, which linking to the generic BrowZine page would require. And because BrowZine checks authentication at the article level, you don't need to worry about unauthorized access to your library's full-text resources.
The BrowZine search box allows you to embed a responsive search box directly into a webpage or LibGuide so users can search directly from your site. These instructions are for adding the search box into your LibGuide. See the subpage "BrowZine on your library's website" for instructions on how to add it to your webpage.
First, Locate your Third Iron ID
Then, add the search box code
<img alt="" src="//s3.amazonaws.com/libapps/accounts/78343/images/BrowZinelogo.png" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; float: left; margin-right:20px;" />
<form method="get" action="https://api.thirdiron.com/v2/libraries/###/external-search" target="_blank">
<fieldset>
<legend>Search e-journals</legend>
<label for="query">Title, ISSN or Subject keywords</label>
<input type="text" name="query" id="query">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</fieldset>
</form>
3. Replace the ### with your library's Third Iron ID
Last, tweak to fit!
