iGoogle: Gordon Library Quick Start Gadget

What is an iGoogle Gadget?

iGoogle is a personalized search portal. A gadget is a little box you can add to the portal which allows you to have quick & easy access to the library's Quick Start options.

What Do I Need to Install?

You don't need a google account to use, but you can get one for free at Google Account which will allow you to use your customized search portal whenever and wherever you are connected to the Internet. If you choose not to create an iGoogle account, you can install the Gordon Library Quick Start gadget but it will work only on the computer(s) you install it on. If you have an iGoogle account already, but sure to log in first so that it installs right into your own personal portal.
