Intro

When you are outside FSU's network, non-open journal articles can only be accessed using the FSU Library proxy. Normally, this requires laboriously re-finding the article via the FSU library web site. The FSU Library Proxy Bookmarklet provides a convenient shortcut, by directly converting URLs to use the library proxy.

Installation

Simply drag the following link to your bookmark bar or menu:
