Introducing the new Libraries LibX Toolbar:
Use library resources while surfing the Internet

The Libraries' newest online innovation enables users to access a wealth of Libraries' services and resources, without interrupting their work on another webpage.

The Rutgers University Libraries LibX Toolbar acts as a companion to the Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browsers. Once installed, it provides instant access via a drop-down menu of links to the following Libraries' resources and services:

• Hours and Directions
• My Account
• IRIS - Libraries' catalog
• Indexes and Databases
• Searchlight
• Delivery and Interlibrary Loan
• Refworks
• Ask a Librarian
• Autolinking feature to full-text articles

The toolbar also includes new capabilities provided by the Libraries.

• Rutgers link or "cue" on a select group of popular bookseller or book related websites provides a direct link to IRIS to check if the book is available at Rutgers
• Easier linking of article citations from non-Rutgers sources to full text, if available at Rutgers
• PubMed autolinking now allows for direct linking from PubMed citations to the full-text article, if available at Rutgers
