Fw: Re:Educate us on Firefox Plugins
by Rajan 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

StumbleUpon, a web browser plugin, is a good addition for librarians in finding out websites rated as good. It can be downloaded from www.stumbleupon.com It allows its users to discover good web pages, online books, journal sites, photos, and videos rated by the community of 5 million stumble upon users. Web pages appear when the user clicks the "Stumble!" button on the browser's toolbar. The display of web pages will be normally based on the user's preference profile, unless any subject keyword ( see the drop down menu under 'All') is provided in the keyword box .To find out good websites on any subject, type the subject in the keyword box and click the "stumble!" button. Stumbleupon toolbar versions exist for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ----- Original Message ----- From: Sukhdev Singh Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 11:44 PM Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Educate us on Firefox Plugins Yes, Firefox is one of my favorite software applications. Out of these 2,000 add-ons or Plug-ins, there are few which are useful for librarians and library users. You may like to see "100 Essential Firefox Add-Ons for Librarians" by Jessica Merritt. There are some more lists of add-ons by librarians. Like the one of Teri Vogel - My Favorite Firefox Extensions and he one by Jessamyn West - Pimp My Firefox. . However, there are few, which are special for librarians. LibX is one such plug-in. Libraries can create their own edition of LibX to provide to access to their resource catalogues through LibX add-on. Around 422 academic and public libraries have already done so. Another interesting Plug-in is Zotero. It is an easy-to-use Firefox extension to help collection, management and cite Internet sources. There is a nice tutorial available for using LibX and Zotero in combination. --Sukhdev Singh -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
