Ebling Library Toolbar from Conduit Connect (beta) - frequently used resources available as a plugin to your browser. For Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Ebling Library EBM-Clinical Resources Toolbar from Conduit Connect (beta) - recommended EBM resources available as a plugin to your browser.

Some Toolbar Tips:

• Your browser may alert you to an attempt to install software when downloading - you'll need to set it to allow installations from this site (you set this on a site-by-site basis)
• You can always hide your toolbar(s) by right clicking (ctrl clicking for Macs) in the area to the right of the toolbar; if you want to install multiple toolbars just choose which to show or hide at any time
• You can make changes to the toolbar components by choosing "Toolbar Options" in the dropdown menu to the right of our library logo
• Toolbar content is updated automatically for you - no need to keep reinstalling
• If you decide you no longer want the toolbar you can uninstall it either using the uninstaller or by removing it as you would any other extension (under Tools -> Add-Ons in Firefox)

Interested in having a library toolbar created for you? Please contact your Library Liaison or the Ebling Web Team.
