LibX: One Stop Searching

The Harvard University Library LibX Toolbar is a browser toolbar add-on that allows you to search quickly the HOLLIS Catalog, the E-Journal List, the E- Resource List, Citation Linker, and Google Scholar. It also: lets you select text on a web page and right-click for a menu of search options; leads you to Harvard’s print and licensed e-resources by embedding a Harvard shield "cue" on search results in Amazon, New York Times Book Reviews, Yahoo! and other sites; and it automatically links ISBNs, ISSNs, PubMed IDs and DOIs to Harvard's print and licensed e-resources. It can save you quite a bit of time in doing your research.

Interested? Just go to the LibX page on the Harvard Libraries site to install the software. Do be aware that LibX was designed for use in Firefox, and works best in it – although it also works in IE 6.0+.

At your service,
Cheryl
