Credo/xrefer browser search bar plug-in

For anyone like me who finds themselves looking up definitions a lot, you can add a plug-in search box for xrefer/Credo to your browser via this link:

This doesn't have use for our students or adjuncts who access remotely, but might it be worthwhile to promote this plug-in service to the full-time faculty and staff?

Restrictions:
  • only works for computers located within the college network - will not work with remote access
  • only works for IE 5+
  • browser must be set to accept signed ActiveX controls
  • security settings: Browsers need a security setting of medium or lower to install and use the Toolbar
