[Web4lib] Creating Library Toolbars

[Leslie Johnston]

If you're interested in a toolbar to search your catalog, I strongly 
suggest LibX.  LibX was developed at Virginia Tech as a Firefox 
extension <http://www.libx.org/> -- a toolbar that Firefox users can 
install that searches a library opac.

We were able to get up and going with a test in practically no time, 
once we compiled the required data for configuration.

I've heard through the grapevine that there are plans for an IE 
toolbar, but I don't have any confirmation or details.
