Quick full text access to journal articles: LibX uses Google Scholar to search for articles and directs the user to the electronic copy subscribed to by Murphy Library. Select a citation, then drag-and-drop it onto the Scholar button on the toolbar. You can use this feature even from inside a PDF file, which makes retrieving papers referenced in a PDF file a snap.

embedded cueSupport for embedded cues: LibX automatically places the UW-L UWL symbol  in web pages if Murphy Library has resources related to that page. Whenever you see the symbol, click on the link to look at what the library has to offer. For instance, book pages at Amazon or Barnes & Noble will link to the book's entry in the library catalog. The symbol is displayed at Google, Yahoo! Search, the NY Times Book Review, and other pages.

 

Support for xISBN: A book title can have different ISBNs for the paperback, the hardcover, even for different editions. LibX supports OCLC's xISBN service: you can find a book, given an ISBN, even if the library holds this book under a different ISBN.
