New HS/HSL LibX Library Toolbar – Find Full-Text Articles Faster

Posted on September 9, 2014 by ebrown

The HS/HSL LibX toolbar is a brower add-on for the FireFox and Chrome web browser. The greatest benefit from using the LibX toolbar is saving time in obtaining full-text articles and other library resources during your research.

The most popular feature of the LibX toolbar is the smart linking option for PMID (PubMed ID) and DOI (Digital Object Identifier). PMID is a unique identifier for articles indexed in PubMed. DOI is a unique identifier for an article.

With the LibX add-on installed, any PMID or DOI you see in a webpage will be automatically hyperlinked. This means that you can simply click the link to instantly find out if the full-text of the particular article is available through the library. If available, click “Read Full-Text.” Otherwise, click “Order a Copy” to request the Inter-library loan service to get the article delivered to you.
