- Toolbar & right-click context menu: Search your library catalog directly from the LibX toolbar or using the right-click context menu.
- 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 your Library. Select a citation, then drag-and-drop it onto the Scholar button on the toolbar.
- Support for embedded cues: LibX places cues in web pages you visit if your library has resources related to that page. Whenever you see the "L" cue, click on the link to look at what the Library has to offer. For instance, book pages at Amazon or Barnes & Noble will contain cues that link to the book's entry in the Penrose Peak catalog.

| RefGrabIt |
http://www.refworks.com/Refworks/BookMarklet.asp
RefGrab-It works with your RefWorks account to capture bibliographic information from web pages giving you the option to directly import that data. If an ISBN number, PubMed ID or DOI exist on the web page, RefGrab-It will automatically search various web resources to get supplemental information that may be of interest to you. RefWorks may also locate RSS feeds related to that web page. When you use RefGrab-It on a web page, it automatically opens a "temporary results page" in a new window. You can view the information and additional resources first, then decide if you want to import the data.
