Summary
English
This extension lets USFQ students and faculty download academic publications while working off-campus. If you find a paper you are interested in online at one of the sources USFQ is subscribed to (IEEE Xplore, Scopus, etc.) and cannot download the full link, press the redirector button, and you will be sent to USFQ library. There you can log in with your USFQ account and access the article.
Step by step guide:
1.- Install the extension. This will add a red dragon button to your toolbar. 2.- Find your article via your favorite search tool (Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, etc) 3.- If you don't have access to the article, press the dragon button. You will be redirected to USFQ library to log in 4.- Enter your USFQ username and password 5.- You now have access to the article! Download at your leisure.
Note: Because USFQ does not have access to every academic journal, you may not be able to download some articles with this extension. Rule of thumb: if USFQ has access, the dragon lets you in.
Suggestions and comments are welcome!
