In some of our subscription databases you will see a blue button - 'Find It @Bond'. This button will be useful when full text is not available directly in the interface you are using. It will take the resource details and check Library Search for availability. If it is not available in full text you will get the option to request the resource.
You can turn on this feature in Google Scholar by setting up your library links.
This ezyproxy bookmarklet will give you access to journals and other subscription-only content from off-campus or the wireless network with one click via Bond Library. If you access content via Library Search or the electronic resources page, you won't need to use this tool as those sources already know about ezproxy. But, if you have discovered content from Google, or Twitter, or someone has emailed you a link this tool will make it easy to get to the full text.
Drag this button to your bookmark toolbar to reload a pay-walled content page via the Library's ezproxy authentication. This will reload the page, ask you to authenticate via the off-campus login and then pass you through to the full text content if it is in the Library collection of e-resources. There are a few e-resources that do not use ezproxy, but the majority will work.
