What are some of the things LibX does?

LibX will add a toolbar to your browser from which you can search BISON, our list of E-Journals, UMLinks or Google Scholar. It also includes links to the catalogue and the Libraries' home page.

 LibX can also modify some pages on the Internet so you will see the University's crest in the search results when searching Google. Clicking on the crest will perform a keyword search for the same terms in BISON, the Libraries' catalogue.


And before you buy that book on Amazon, you can search BISON by clicking on the University's crest.
