LibX is a Firefox browser extension developed at Virginia Tech and configured for Brown. It allows you to search for authors, titles, keywords, and standard numbers by highlighting text ANYWHERE on the web. Searches are passed to Josiah or Google Scholar and you are directed to Brown’s licensed full text and other services such as Interlibrary Loan through the Library’s find it! service.
LibX also places a small Brown icon – – next to titles at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the New York Times Book Review, and other sources. Clicking on the icon searches Josiah for the title.
LibX also makes searching Josiah, Google Scholar, and the Library’s e-journal list available directly from your browser’s toolbar (see screenshot).
