Evergreen Wishlist Help

Welcome to Evergreen Wishlist the app that will tell you if books on your Amazon Wish List are available at your local library. If your local library uses the Evergreen ILS system that is.

To accomplish this task of amazing engineering Evergreen Wishlist requires two peices of information:

  1. The Share URL for your Amazon Wish List
  2. The URL for your local (or statewide) library's catalog.

The following instructions will hopefully guide you through the process of finding the needed URLs.

Amazon Wish List URL

First let's track down the Amazon URL. Open the browser on your device and browse to Amazon (or click the link).

Next, click the Menu button.

Now click the Wish List link in the menu.

You may have to log into Amazon to see the link .

On the "Wish List & Registry" page click the link for the list you want to use.

Click the "List Actions" dropdown and click the "Share" link.

On the "Share" page copy the "Wisth List Link".

Open Evergreen Wishlist and click the menu button in the upper right hand side.

In the menu click the Settings button.

In the Amazon Wishlist URL field press and hold until the Paste button appears. Then click Paste and finally the Save button.

Evegreen ILS URL

If you don't know the exact URL for your library's Evergreen ILS system, you can usually find it somewhere on the home page for the library. As with the Amazon URL browse to your libraries website and click the link, image, etc that will allow you to search for a book.

I wish I could provide more exact instructions, but since each library has a different website the link could be litterally anywhere. If you live in North Carolin you can simply open the NC Cardinal page and follow these instructions.

With the catalog page open select the text in the address bar and copy it.

Open Evergreen Wishlist and click the menu button in the upper right hand side.

In the menu click the Settings button.

In the Evergreen URL field press and hold until the Paste button appears. Then click Paste and finally the Save button.

Evergreen Wishlist should now be configured and you can pull down the main page to refresh the wishlist and start checking availability for books on your list.
