What is the DU LibX?

LibX DU Libraries is a Firefox/IE extension that provides direct access to DU Libraries resources from whatever web page you are on. Note: LibX was written for Firefox and works best in Firefox; there is a version availble for IE.

  1. Toolbar: LibX is a Firefox toolbar that allows you to quickly search the DU catalog, SWAN, MOBIUS, Google Scholar,  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 DU-only resources.

For more information on how to use and install DU LibX see our LibGuide on the subject.
