A custom short URL generator for Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library using the Open Source software YOURLS

An example of what the page looks like once logged in.

Enter the URL you'd like a short version of. Make sure to include the protocol (https:// , http:// , mailto:, etc). If you copy (Ctrl+C) from your browser and paste (Ctrl+V) the protocol should be automatically inclueded.
Enter your keyword in the **Custom short URL** field. This must be lowercase letter and numbers only (a-z and 0-9) no special characters are allowed. Try to keep it short and appropriate.
If you do not enter a keyword, one will be assigned (incrementing numbers). This isn't super useful, you will almost always want to pick a keyword.
In the rare case you you want your link to automatically expire, you can set expiry after a number of clicks or certain time has passed.
