Context Menu: Using the right-click context menu, highlight text on a web page to search ROBCAT, RMU Journal List Search / Serials Solutions, Open WorldCat, ProQuest, CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, JSTOR, or Google Scholar.
Support for off-campus access via EZProxy/WAM: Using the right-click context menu, you may reload a page through the Library’s off-campus EZproxy, or follow a link via the proxy, making it appear as though you are coming from an on-campus computer.
RMU Library Cues: LibX places a small RMU logo 
as a cue in the web pages of several of the larger bookseller, book publisher, and book reviewer entities that you can click on to run a search for the title in ROBCAT. Sites displaying LibX library cues include Amazon, Books in Print, the New York Times Book Review, and Barnes & Noble.
Autolinking: LibX automatically turns ISBNs, ISSNs, and other identifiers into links to ROBCAT. To turn autolinking off, uncheck “Autolink Pages” in the drop-down menu to the left of the toolbar.
Hide it: If you like the toolbar, but think it takes up too much space, you can hide it. Toggle the toolbar on and off by pressing F9 on Firefox (if it is not in use by another program) or you can check or uncheck it in >>View >>Toolbars or >>Tools >>Toolbars.
