    1

    Open your LibGuide. Click "Add / Reorder" on the LibGuide box where you want to display the widget

    2

    Choose "Media / Widget"

    3

    Click "Reuse Existing Widget"

    4

    Use the "Search for Media / Widget" to look for the widget you want to reuse

    5

    Select the widget you want to reuse

    6

    Click the "Copy" field and save the widget.

    7

    Click "edit" to tailor the widget for your guide

    8

    To get the information you need to tailor your widget, go to <https://browzine.com/libraries/134/subjects>

    9

    Click on the subject you want to explore. In this example, "Arts and Humanities"

    10

    Click on the more specific subject you'd like to explore. For this example, "Literature"

    11

    You can choose an even more specific subject if you like. For this example, I'm using "English Literature"

    12

    Once you've found the subject you want to incorporate into the Widget, look at the URL. Here is the Browzine URL for English Literature journals:[https://browzine.com/libraries/134/subjects/**57**/bookcases/**77**/bookshelves/**233**?sort=title](https://browzine.com/libraries/134/subjects/57/bookcases/77/bookshelves/233?sort=title) Here's the information I need from the URL: - The "Subject" number, in this case **57** for Arts & Humanities - The "bookcases" number, in this case **77** for Literature - The "bookshelves" number, in this case **233** for English Literature

    13

    Now I can edit my widget. To start, open the copied widget and change the name. In this case, I'm changing "anthropology" to "literature"

    14

    Go to the "Embed Code" field and update the "Explore%20subject20%" section of the code to reflect the subject you want to highlight. In this example, I'm changing "anthropology" to "literature."

    15

    Right-click the "Embed Code" field. In the brackets, change the numbers to the number or numbers you gathered from the Browzine URL for your subject. In this case, my bracket will change to **\[57, 77, 233\]** to highlight English Literature journals. Remember to use commas between the numbers.

    16

    Remember to "Save"
