Online Resources - full text access
La Trobe Library browser tool (bookmarklet)
La Trobe University Library provides access to online resources (databases, ejournals, ebooks, etc.) with the majority of resources only available to authorised users (students, staff, alumni, etc.). When discovering online resources using sites other than the Library's, often you will be asked to pay to get to the full text. Using the tool below will utilise the Library's online resource gateway and enable you to access full text as a La Trobe user.
The tool can be added to most browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
- Drag the La Trobe Library access link below to your browser's toolbar (steps for various browsers are listed below)
- Search for and discover relevant online resources
- Once you find a full text resource you want and while on the webpage of that resource, click on the La Trobe tool now in your toolbar
- Enter your La Trobe credentials and if the Library has a subscription you will be able to access the full text
The tool is not necessary if you are using Library Search or the Library Databases page. The tool will not work on mobile phones.
