LibX: The College of New Jersey Edition is a Firefox extension/Internet Explorer plugin that provides direct access to your Library's resources.
It features:
|
Toolbar & right-click context menu: Search your library catalog directly from the LibX toolbar or using the right-click context menu.
|
|
Support for off-campus access via EZProxy: Using the
Library's off-campus proxy, you may reload a page through the proxy, or
follow a link via the proxy, making it appear as though you are coming
from an on-campus computer.
Quick full text access to journal articles: LibX uses Google
Scholar to search for articles and directs the user to the electronic
copy subscribed to by your Library. Select a citation, then
drag-and-drop it onto the Scholar button on the toolbar. You can use
this feature even from inside a PDF file, which makes retrieving papers
referenced in a PDF file a snap.
|
|
Support for embedded cues: LibX places cues in web pages you visit
if your library has resources related to that page. Whenever you see the cue,
click on the link to look at what the Library has to offer.
For instance, book pages at Amazon or Barnes & Noble will contain cues
that link to the book's entry in Addison.
Cues are displayed at Google, Yahoo! Search, the NY Times Book Review, and other pages.
Watch this screencast for examples of this cool feature. (requires Macromedia Flash Plugin)

Support for xISBN:
A book title can have different ISBNs for the paperback, the hardcover, even for different editions.
LibX supports OCLC's xISBN service:
you can find a book, given an ISBN, even if the library holds this book under a different ISBN.
