I’m Sue McFadden, here to help you connect to E-Resources. If you want a preview, help setting up, or if you experience any issues with the toolbar, please let me know at smcfadde@iue.edu . Firefox users are automatically notified of updates. The idea behind the toolbar is to embed IU East and the Campus Library in the browser, providing ease of access and a Google-like experience.
