LaGuardia Library Research Toolbar

The LaGuardia Library Research Toolbar serves as a bridge between general Web searching and the Library's various resources. The LaGuardia Library Research Toolbar will help you connect books you find online, through sites like Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and AbeBooks, to LaGuardia's and CUNY's holdings.

Installing the Research Toolbar

The Research Toolbar is designed to work with the Firefox Web browser. Firefox is an alternative to Internet Explorer. To download Firefox for free, click here and follow the installation instructions (Firefox also offers limited support on their site). There is also an experimental version of this toolbar for the Chrome browser.

1. Once you have installed Firefox, launch it and copy this address: http://libx.org/editions/download.php?edition=D21B1B9A into Firefox's address bar (see below).
2. Click the top link that says "Click here to install LibX CUNY LaGuardia Community College Toolbar Version 1.5.14"
3. Firefox will give you a message at the top of the page, that a site is asking to install software on your computer. That's normal. Click the Allow button.

   

4. Click the "Install Now" button.

   

5. The toolbar will then download and install itself.

   

6. Then, you should see a notification to restart Firefox to complete the installation. Click the Restart Now button and let Firefox restart.

   

7. Firefox will open up again on its own with the toolbar installed.

   

8. You are now ready to learn to use the toolbar.
