Announcing a Browser Toolbar for Library Resouces
We now have a library toolbar you can add to your browser. It works with Firefox and Internet Explorer. To access the information page with links to download the plug-ins click here.
Want to install it on a lab computer? The LibX GVSU Library Toolbar for Firefox can be found in Departmental Applications folder under Library.
Right from this toolbar you can search the library catalog, Nautilus, e-Journals, Google Scholar, Windows Academic Live and WorldCat! There are also links to many library resources including database list, Ares and Document Delivery. If you are in Amazon.com and see a GVSU icon, then we have that item in our catalog! Looking for something you see in a pdf file? Highlight the word and drag it to the Scholar section of the toolbar and Google Scholar will search for it.

This browser plugin is phenomenal!! I can't believe how slickly it integrates the library databases with Google and the Firefox browser. I could move much more quickly from Google Scholar/Google Books to retrieve a document we had as etext than I can within the database search itself.
Also the drag and drop feature from pdf to Google is terrific. This tool will save a lot of time. Thank you!
