Columbia University Libraries Rolls Out LibX Widget
Columbia University Libraries has recently rolled out the Columbia University Edition of LibX - a Firefox extension which provides direct access to Columbia’s resources. The LibX tool is a browser plugin, which allows you to conveniently search the Columbia University Libraries online catalog, CLIO, and follow embedded visual cues from Google Scholar, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and The New York Times Book Review.
If you haven’t tried LibX, it’s a great time to start! This is a fantastic tool and will save you lots of time in searching. And if you have any questions, please feel free to drop by the Journalism Library or send email to widget-help@libraries.cul.columbia.edu.
