LibX Toolbar

The current version of LibX supported at WUSTL is 2.0. LibX is an experimental tool and user experience may vary. Please contact us if you are interested in support for LibX. If you would like to continue using LibX 1.5 see the bottom of the page.

The LibX Library Toolbar gives you quick access to Washington University Libraries' online resources from your web browser. With LibX installed, all the power of the Washington University Libraries' catalogs (both Classic and Discovery), WorldCat.org, Full-text e-Journals, Google Scholar, and more are just a click or two away.

The LibX extension adds a toolbar to your browser for faster access to Library resources.

Highlight any term on the browser page and right click to call up the context menu. The menu items will change depending on the type of text that is highlighted, and what preferences you've selected for the Context Menu in LibX Preferences.

LibX places the cue in many external web pages like Amazon.com. Click the cue to see if WUSTL owns the book, or to get online access to the article.

LibX 1.5: If you would like to return to version 1.5, uninstall 2.0 and then install the old version by using the following link. Only Firefox is supported with version 1.5. Note that 1.5 is no longer maintained by the LibX project and downloads could cease to be available in the future.
