More info & Download LibX from libx.org

LibX is a browser plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer that provides direct access to La Trobe University Library's resources. LibX features:

  • Toolbar & right-click context menu
    Direct access to the catalogue via a toolbar and right-click context menu. Highlight selected text from any web page and right-click without having to navigate to the library catalogue page.
  • Off campus access via Library authentication
    Use LibX to reload a web page page via the library authentication (this makes it appear as though its from an on-campus location).
  • Autolink
    LibX automatically links ISBNs, ISSNs, DOIs, and other identifiers to the La Trobe Library catalogue.
  • Easy access to Google Scholar
    Select text and search for the selected text on Google Scholar. In addition, LibX will read Scholar's results for you, determine whether the article was found and if so, ask La Trobe's OpenURL resolver for a paid-for copy, should you not have access to the copy to which Scholar links.
  • Embedded Cues
    Search the catalogue by clicking on the La Trobe University logo in sites such as Amazon, Yahoo! and Google.
