Today I worked with browser tools, beginning with Firefox add-ons. Firefox resides on my system already so I just needed some extensions. These are the ones I added: del.icio.us; adblock plus; 123 travel search; and, all-in-one search. I particularly wanted access to my del.icio.us account since I work at different computer stations on various workdays.
All went well except for the all-in-one search. According to my extension menu, it has been installed but I can’t find an icon, search box or whatever else residing anywhere.
Later I went to the MORRIS bookmarklets page and installed a subject keyword search to my Internet Explorer favorites. I was impressed by how this worked. When doing a subject search in Classification Web of “animal feeding”, I highlighted the phrase, clicked my bookmarklet, and was taken to a total of 9 search results within the library catalogue. That’s good. I may add more to my favorites.
