Access Healey from Anywhere
The librarians at Healey Library have created a tool that allows you to search for Journals, Books, and Articles directly from your Internet browser.
It works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
For Internet Explorer
if you are using IE you will need to make sure that you have Microsoft .NET 2.0 installed first.
To search, select the catalog or database from the menu to the right of the search box and the field to search from the menu to the left. Then input your search term and click the Search button. Multiple terms may be added using the "Create New Search Field" button, a blue down arrow directly to the right of the search box.
The HealeyTool also links to Healey Library content from other places on the Internet.
All you do is look for this icon:
Clicking on this icon will link you to items in the Healey collection that relate to your Google search,
or books at Amazon and other book ordering sites.
the toolbar will automatically turn many ISBNs, ISSNs, DOI IDs, and PubMed IDs found on any webpage into a link to a search for that ISBN in the Healey collection.
You can also select sections of text (such as a bibliographic citation) and drag it to the diploma icon in the toolbar to search Google Scholar and open its best guess for the article in our Article Linker.
The toolbar also allows you to highlight titles, authors, or keywords from any webpage, right-click, and search them in the library catalog or Google Scholar.
The toolbar can be used on or off campus (though you will need to login with your library barcode if you are searching databases.)
If you are having difficulty installing the tool bar please contact us.
HealeyTools is an edition of the LibX toolbar created by Annette Bailey and Godmar Back at Virginia Tech.
