ProQuest has created a handy search widget for their databases that you can imbed right in your subject guides or other webpages. Here’s how it looks (this one links to PQ Dissertations and Theses). Go on, give it a try:
function proQuestSearchGo(){
var url=”http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?RQT=305&FT=1&DBId=15119&SQ=”;
var searchInputEl = document.getElementById(“proQuestSearchInput”);
document.location=url + encodeURIComponent(searchInputEl.value);
}
function handleKeyPress(e,form){
var key=e.keyCode || e.which;
if (key==13){
proQuestSearchGo();
}
}
Create your own widget here (it’s quick and easy!):

I’ve added the widget to the Anthropology Subject Guide, in the section on theses and dissertations.
