Custom Queries and Results (CQR) is a magic piece of CONTENTdm functionality. It allows you to create complex searches that underlie the linked phrases or drop-down boxes your patrons see. It allows you to create a snippet of HTML that other organizations can include on their websites, allowing their patrons to search your CONTENTdm databases easily. In addition, CQR can help you customize your browse and search results screens.

We'll look at examples of CONTENTdm sites that have used CQR and show you how the basics are done. After this, you'll be able to do it yourself on your own server!
