CISTI LibX Toolbar

From CISTI-ICIST LAB WIKI

The CISTI LibX Edition of the LibX Library Toolbar has been customized specifically for patrons of CISTI. The CISTI LibX library toolbar allows CISTI to travel with you on the web to provide library assistance whenever you need it. This version includes resources only available to staff of the National Research Council of Canada -- but is likely to be useful for any CISTI Patron. You can read more about the features of the toolbar and get installation help directly at the CISTI LibX Edition site.

Installation

Install the latest CISTI LibX Edition for:

• Firefox
• Internet Explorer (Beta - May not display well in some versions of IE)

When installing in IE, please SAVE the installer to the desktop first, instead of running the executable, and then proceed to run the file.

You may have to provide your browser permission for libx.org to install the extension/plugin. A pop-up box in the middle or on top of your browser will allow you to provide this permission to allow the install.

Features

• On certain websites -- Amazon, Wikipedia and Google Scholar for example -- cues are added to let you know that CISTI can provide you with more information from its link resolver or databases - and can often provide you with access to full text. Whenever you see a icon in those pages - just click for more information.
• When reading web pages or articles DOI's, PubMed ID's and ISSN's are auto-linked so that you can find more information about the items from CISTI - and often, you'll be directed to the full text of the item.
• Search CISTI's titles, articles and resources directly in the toolbar, or by selecting and right-clicking to use the context menu.
• NRC users can proxy any page through the CISTI/NRC proxy service for ease of off-campus access to licensed and access restricted content.
