Putting it all together

There are many possibilities for configuring buttons and sets. You can create

them to support your school's curriculum, draw attention to certain resources, or

fill special needs or interests. In the example below, we demonstrate the creation

and configuration of buttons to support the research efforts of a class focusing on

space exploration. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions. You can

configure the buttons and populate the sets in many different ways to best suit

your patrons' needs and direct them to the resources available to them.

In the Home button set, click the Science button.

In the Science set, click Add to create a button. Name it Astronomy.
