6.3. Display Shared Lists on the Web

Last Updated 11/09/2023

Linking Shared Lists from Your Website or OPAC

It is possible to create shared lists of library materials and link to them from your website or from your OPAC home page.

First, create the list. Then, make sure that the list is shared and you have selected HTML view.

Populate the list by selecting items in the catalog and adding them to the desired list.

To add the list to a web page, go to the HTML view and copy the url. Paste into the appropriate location on your website.

To have a link to the list display on the OPAC home screen, follow all the instructions above, then submit a help ticket including the url and the text you would like to display. Specify whether the link should display in the top or bottom bar.

Displaying a Shared List on the OPAC

With a modification to your homepage, lists can be displayed on the OPAC as well. This is much more efficient than using the HTML view because records in the list can be retrieved in small paginated batches rather than all at once. In addition to that, the OPAC list remains concise by only displaying the title and cover.

Once this feature is enabled on the OPAC, any shared bucket or list can be displayed if its BB ID is known.
