LibX makes research easier
The next time you’re conducting research on the Internet, instead of opening a new tab or window in your Web browser, use LibX to get extreme access to Cornell University Library.
With just the click of your mouse or the use of its toolbar, LibX, an open-source Firefox extension configured for use at Cornell, gives you access to all of the Library’s online resources. Highlight a phrase or some key words, right click and instantly search the catalog or Google Scholar to learn about and get access to materials available through the Library.
“The genius of LibX is that it allows you to go from wherever you are the Web to the Library’s resources, so this could be books, electronic resources or it could be DVDs,” said Susette Newberry, outreach coordinator in Olin Library. “LibX lets you to get what you need, when you need, where you need it.”
