Google Calendar

Do you like to make appointments, reminders or save important info on the go?

Google Scholar Button

No! This Chrome extension does not make you a genius. However, the Google Scholar button allows users to search for scholarly articles without leaving the current page. How? Once installed, all you need to do is highlight a few phrases on the web page and click the extension button. A window appears that displays search results along with options for quoting the scholarly article or the associated document.
