Enabling Cite it! Browser Extension

New for March! Cite it! is available as a Chrome browser extension. You can install it from the link within User settings > Cite it!, or by searching for Leganto Cite it! Bookmarking Tool on the Chrome Extensions Web Store or from https://chromewebstore.google.com/.

The Cite it! screen in Leganto was updated to include both the Chrome extension and the Bookmarklet.

How to Install the CiteIt! Bookmarklet

The list of sites that Leganto is specifically known to support appears as a link in the Cite it! pane. Even if a website is not listed, Leganto is likely to work on the site if the resource information is easily identifiable to the bookmarklet code. View this file for a list of supported Cite it! sites.

The "Cite It!" bookmarklet lets you easily add resources from websites, online articles, videos, etc., directly to your reading lists. "Cite It!" can even be used to add items that need to be purchased. Just add the appropriate tag.

1. Go to the resource page and click on the "Cite It!" button. (Reminder - how to install the Cite It! button.)
2. A pane will open up. Choose the reading list and section where the resource should go. Add or correct any relevant or missing information.

Some resources available through the Libraries that are not found in InfoHawk+ can be found by searching a database to which we have access. In this case, the easiest way to add this resource to a list is to use the "Cite It!" bookmarklet and then use the proxy link generator to add the Libraries' proxy server address to the resource's URL.

For help finding articles and adding the proxy server, please contact your subject librarian.
