Becker Library Browser Toolbar

Enhance your browser toolbar’s usefulness and keep connected to Becker resources at any time with the customized Becker Library browser toolbar. The Becker Library Toolbar is a custom-made web browser extension for the Washington University School of Medicine community. It can be used with either Internet Explorer (IE) or Firefox. The browser toolbar is customizable – you can add or subtract components, connect to your email account, add links to Microsoft applications such as Word and Excel, and more.

Features include a persistent search box that allows you to:

• Search the internet via Google
• Search This Site (whatever site you’re in)
• Search the Becker Catalog (providing quick access to E-Journals, Databases, Books & More)

In addition, there are:

• QuickLinks to ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and UpToDate

The Becker Library toolbar is completely safe to download, install, and use. It is easy to deactivate and remove; the software does not transmit any information that can identify a user and does not create security holes.
