It hasn't been widely publicized, maybe because it's considered experimental, but it's great, and I use it a lot. Once you've installed it, the LibX toolbar includes links to Library resources in every web page you look at. It's especially good in Google scholar - it puts a maize and blue "M Get It" button next to all the scholarly articles in your results list. Clicking that button takes you straight to a list of available databases to which the library subscribes that include the article. No need for a separate SearchTools window. LibX has a number of other features as well, and I highly recommend checking it out. The University of Michigan LibX Toolbar for Firefox makes your search process even a little bit easier.
