LibX FireFox extension

LibX RPI-Hartford is a FireFox extension that brings the Cole Library's resources right to your browser.  LibX RPI-Hartford provides a toolbar that allows you to search the Rensselaer Libraries' Catalog and Google Scholar.  Another feature is drag and drop searching from the text of web pages and pdf documents.  LibX RPI-Hartford also provides cues to link you to Cole Library resources that you find while using websites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Scholar, or PubMed.  A link through SFX will bring you to a menu offering full text if available or options to get full text through the Cole Library.  You can learn more and download the extension at http://www.ewp.rpi.edu/hartford/library/libx.htm.
