Betas at MIT
Lisa Harrington writes about one of the betas that the library at MIT is working on is an LibX toolbar.
“1. Toolbar: LibX is a Firefox toolbar that allows you to quickly search the Barton catalog, Vera, Google Scholar, the SFX FullText Finder and other search tools
2. Right-click menu: when you have installed LibX you can highlight text on a web page or PDF and right-click for a menu of search options
3. Embedded links: LibX will also embed links on search results in Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Scholar, NYT Book Reviews, and more that will lead you to MIT-only resources”
Very cool. Even cooler? Check out the betas page and look what is coming later this year:
“RSS feeds for new books”
Pant!
