You can add a Knowledge and Library Hub search box to your library website by adapting and inserting the code below into your webpage.
(An alternative approach is to use an iframe. This technique is described in the article Embedding the Knowledge and Library Hub search box in your local library website using iframes.)

Amending the Code to point at your own instance
The code below references the 'National' instance of the Knowledge and Library Hub. This is identified by the "custid" value of "ns124040". To amend this code to point at your own instance, you need to swap out that customer ID for your own.
You can find the customer ID for your Knowledge and Library Hub instance in the article entitled What's my local instance?, or in the footer of your Knowledge and Library Hub home page. For example:
Search Box Code
Cut and paste this code to the section of your webpage where you want the search box to be displayed. Remember to change the "custid" value to your own customer ID. The line where you need to make the change is highlighted in the code below.
