1. LIBX LIBRARY TOOLBAR
The LibX extension adds a toolbar to your browser for faster access to Library resources.
Set up your
toolbar:
Select the type of search (Keyword, Author, Title, etc.) from the dropdown menu on the left.
Then use the dropdown menu on the Search button to select which resource
to search. The button can search the Baker Library Catalog,
locate titles of journals using Journal Finder , search for books worldwide using Worldcat or search for resources using
Google Scholar.
Enter search terms into the toolbar and start the search. You can do this in three ways:
Type the search term(s) into the toolbar and click the Search button to begin the search;
Highlight any keyword, author, title, call number, subject, or ISBN/ISSN on the page. Right click and select "Add Selection to Search As...", and let LibX
paste your highlighted terms into the search box. Then click the Search button to start the search (Applicable in Firefox only);
Or, simply drag the highlighted text onto the Search button to start the search automatically (Applicable in Firefox only).
Combine several terms in a single search. Add more search boxes by clicking the down-arrow button
2. CUSTOMIZED RIGHT-CLICK MENU
Highlight any term on the browser page and right click to call up the context menu. The menu items will change depending on the type of text that is
highlighted.
Select one of the search options to instantly search the Baker Library catalog by keyword, title, author, or do a Google Scholar search.
Reload the page through Baker's proxy server to get off-campus access to Baker-only resources.
3. EMBEDDED LINKS IN POPULAR WEBSITES
LibX places the cue in many external web pages like Amazon.com. Click the cue to see if Baker owns the book, or to get online access to the article.
