Browse Button on Home Page

Is there any way to get a Browse button on the Home Page? This would be for an alphabetical list of everything (perhaps separated into books and DVDs).

TinyCat does not have a browse feature (yet, though we might add some built-in capabilities at some point)—it's built to work like a traditional online catalog, which means you must search for something—but you can mimic browsing by adding links to saved searches on your TinyCat homepage.

For example, I've added links to my "Books" and "Movies" on my own TinyCat homepage here: https://www.librarycat.org/lib/kristilabrie. The books are from an Advanced Search results for Media Type, and the Movies are from an Advanced Search for my Movies collection.

One of our featured TinyCat libraries, Folio's Seattle Athenaeum, has done this as well (they mostly add links to searches for Tags within their catalog): https://www.librarycat.org/lib/FolioSeattle.

You can run your own Advanced Searches in your TinyCat and add links to those searches from your TinyCat’s Home page Settings: https://www.librarycat.org/admin/settings/home. Check out the "Pro-tips" section on our Help page here for more information: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/TinyCat:_Settings_%C2%BB_Home_page. I hope this helps.
