Access Full Text Articles From Home Directly From Google Scholar With LibX

Did you know that Learning Resources have developed an extension for Internet Explorer and Firefox which can give you direct access to your Library's resouces? It's called LibX and it's available to download (with full instructions) here: http://libx.org/editions/download.php?edition=A4ACB454

With LibX you can:
  • Gain quick full text access to electronic articles subscribed to by your library, that you find using Google Scholar - even off campus.
  • LibX places cues in webpages that you visit if your library has resources related to that page. Whenever you see the cue just click on it to see what your Library has to offer, for e.g. books that you find using Amazon will have cues next to the books that the Library has in stock.
  • Search the Library Catalogue directly from your toolbar.
