Guide for Librarians

How to put them in a LibGuide:

1. After you've created  an alert in Factiva, make a widget by going to  Alerts >> Manage Alerts >> and click the Make Widget  link next to your alert.
2. Name your widget, limit it to display no more than 5 items, and select Audience will be Factiva users outside my Account. When you are done with the settings, click the Save Widget Design Now.
3. Click Publish My Widget Now, on the pop up window that shows the embedded text make sure you select HTTPS. Save this piece of code as you'll be using it later.
4. In Libguides, create a new box of type "Media/Widget"
5. Click  the edit button (looks like a pencil on a box), give your widget a name and paste in  the embedded code from Factiva into the Embed Code field. 
6. Save Changes and your embedded widget code should appear. 

You can add several alerts in a single widget in Factiva.

To create this widget, login personally to OA and create a Saved Search. Go into My Searches and select Widget. Make your choices and generate the widget code. Enter the code into the "Multimedia Box - Scripts and Widgets"

NOTE: You need to have Factiva alert folder and Public RSS created for that folder and then copy that RSS URL into this box RSS link.
