The library now has a catalog search toolbar that you can install in your internet browser.\u00a0 The toolbar is called LibX <\/a>it is an open source product that’s super easy to use!\u00a0 You can visit the University of Scranton’s LibX Edition<\/a> instruction page to install it.\u00a0 On the top of the page, there’s a link to install in Firefox or Internet Explorer.\u00a0 Once it has been installed, you will have a new toolbar in your browser that looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The toolbar will let you search the catalog by Keyword, Title, Author, Subject, ISBN, and even Call Number!\u00a0 But LibX doesn’t just let you search from your toolbar.\u00a0\u00a0 It will also insert our favicon<\/p>\n

(this symbol \"\"<\/a> ) into certain websites, like Amazon, Google and The New York Times.\u00a0 When you see that symbol, you can click it and it will execute a search into our catalog.\u00a0 For example, if you’re looking at a book in Amazon, you can click the icon next to the title and it will search our catalog for that particular book!\u00a0 Also, if you do a search in Google,\u00a0 you will see the symbol in your results list, if you were to click the icon it would perform the same search but in our catalog.<\/p>\n

That’s not all it does, either!\u00a0 It will also allow you to highlight any text on a website and by right-clicking with your mouse, you can choose to search our catalog for that information.\u00a0 And finally, it will also hyperlink any ISBN in any website, so you can simply click an ISBN which will search our catalog.\u00a0 I hope you find this useful in streamlining your research and searching techniques!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
