A toolbar for library geeks

How have I lived without the UIUC LibX Toolbar for so long? Please to find easy access to everything from full text journals, the catalog, Google Scholar, the fabulous Easy Search, and even the campus phone book. The coolest thing is the drag and drop feature. Highlight and drag any term from a website right onto the toolbar item you want to search, like Google Scholar. The magic "Discover" button will connect you with the full-text of the item, if it's available through the Library. If you are on Google or Amazon, the University's "I" mark will show up if the item can be automatically searched in the Library's catalog.



Better than sliced bread.
