LibX Firefox Extension
About
We've developed a library plug-in for the FireFox web browser called LibX that allows you to search for items in the Library collections from any page, no matter where you may be browsing.
You can use it to look up books in our catalog InvestiGator, or look up our 200 databases and 20,000 electronic journals, or search Google Scholar. But wait, there's more. 
LibX embeds a link on certain kinds of web pages, like Amazon or Barnes & Noble pages, NY Times book reviews, Google and Yahoo, Worldcat and many others. This link will search for the book on the page in InvestiGator! It enhances any ISBNs it finds to search for the book. It also enhances PMIDs and DOIs (if you know what those are) to search for the full text article among our databases. It provides contextual menus (right-click or control-click) for any selected text on any web page to search that text as a keyword, author or title in InvestiGator, Google Scholar, WorldCat and elsewhere.
