The Libraries have created a customized toolbar to help speed up your library research. The toolbar is an add-on for your Firefox or IE browser. It has some of the basic library functions built-in to it including quick searches books and journal articles, a link to ILLiad for ILL requests, links to Reserves, and, last but not least, a link to the Libraries’ Ask a Librarian page. Oh, it also has a weather component so you can see just how cold it is today. There is also a link to it on the Libraries home page.
