Linking into Voyager

If you try to send someone a link to an item record or a search results list in Voyager (via IM, email, or on a LibData page), the link won't work for them. But, here's a workaround for creating a sharable link...

1) Visit the Canned Search Generator: 
http://libraryasp.tamu.edu/cannedsearch/cannedsearch.asp

2) Copy and paste the URL from your Voyager results page.  [Note: The simpler the search, the better this works. Lots of limits, browsing, etc., will make this behave strangely.]

3) Click "Generate New URL" and the Canned Search Generator will give you a working, sharable link.  It is still going to be a long link, so if you're going to paste it into an email or IM, you might consider shortening the URL with one of these tools:
