Very easy to install and it gets you to EBSCO full text that is subscribed by the institution.

This extension works well. I find it especially useful when searching PubMed because it shows me which articles are in my library. I promote it whenever I can. I hope more people find this extension and use it.

An incredibly easy tool to instantly see access that articles available from your local library... So simple to set-up and use -- just click the little "E" that appears on web pages as you browse the web! You don't even have to be affiliated with an EBSCO customer -- open access articles appear for everyone.
