Music Links on Delicious
- My music links on Delicious Feel free to check out the music related links I have bookmarked on Delicious. I add to it fairly frequently, but also try to duplicate them here on the LibGuide. Delicious is a great tool for exploring what others have bookmarked as well.
Research Tools
Two research tools that you may find useful:
- LibX: A FireFox (web browswer) plug-in that allows you to search for items in ourLibrary collections from any web page. It allows you to search for books, articles, and other kinds of research resources in InvestiGator, Google Scholar, WorldCat and elsewhere right from the webpage where you found it (like Amazon, Google and Yahoo, Worldcat, etc.).
- Zotero: A FireFox (web browswer) plug-in that allows you to collect, manage, and cite your research sources. It lives right where you do your work — in the web browser itself.
