Multi-Library Search Tool - Expanded Version

The following form allows you to search multiple libraries. Just enter the criteria and search type (Title, Author or Subject) in the form, then select the library catalogue you want to search.

This is an expanded version of a tab-based Multi-Library Search Tool, adding several more libraries in South Australia.

Of course, the form is only useful if you live in Adelaide, South Australia. But if you're handy with JavaScript you should be able to modify the code to search other libraries.
