Chrome
Install LibX 2.0
Google Chrome has recently changed the way they handle .crx extensions, and you need to follow this workaround procedure to add it manually.
- Click on the "Install LibX Toolbar" link above, and save the file to your computer.
- Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
- Select Tools > Extensions.
- Locate the extension file on your computer and drag the file onto the Extensions page.
- Click "Add" in the popup window
- Click the LibX 2.0 icon to the right of your search bar. Type "UOW", and push enter or the return key, then click on "UOW Library Edition" then click the Load this edition link to finish setting it up.
Internet Explorer
UOW Library Edition Revision 1.5.12
NOTE: LibX IE was tested using IE 7 on Windows XP and Vista. Installing it requires administrator privileges and it requires that .Net 2.0 is installed on the target computer. Internet Explorer 8 and above users have reported problems with using LibX. To hide or show the toolbar at any time, push F9 - the other features will still work. This toolbar does not work with 64 bit Windows.
The Library Toolbar for Internet explorer is no longer being updated, and we highly recommend using the Firefox or Chrome versions instead.
