What is LibX?

Toolbar: LibX is a Firefox toolbar that allows you to quickly search the CMC library catalog, all Marmot Libraries catalogs, and E-Journal Portal.
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.
Embedded links: LibX will also embed links on search results in Amazon, Barnes & Noble, NYT Book Reviews, and more that will lead you to CMC resources.

1. Toolbar: Enter search words in the box in the LibX toolbar; Library catalog is the default, but you can switch to searching all Marmot libraries, or E-Journal Portal. You can search by multiple terms in different fields (keyword, title, author, etc.) and by clicking on the down arrow you can add additional search boxes. Which fields can be searched changes based on which database is being searched.
