Using the
University of Rochester Library Remote Access
to search for library resources, one does not have to
open a VPN connection or set up a proxy when all they
need is access to UofR affiliated databases (ex. ACM,
IEEE, Books24x7).
The following
Mozilla Firefox (MFX) add-on is a simple
extension which adds a couple of handy options to the
context menu, to ease access to these resources.
You can open a publication directly, or save a bookmark
to it, in a way that you will redirect you through the
Remote Access web page without any hassle:
And in the unlikeley event that the Remote Access
web page changes, you can specify the updated URL
in the add-on preferences menu:
Notice that you need (at least)
Firefox 3.5
for full functionality.
The add-on code is distributed under the terms of
GPLv3.
It comes with absolutely no guarantees and
absolutely no support. Use at your own risk.
