Quick QUB: A Convenient Extension for Off-Campus Article Access
Quick QUB is a Chrome extension developed by Joakim Kennedy that allows users to easily view articles off-campus without having to navigate through the library's website. This free extension falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
With Quick QUB, users can find articles on any search engine, such as ScienceMag or ScienceDirect, without any restrictions. Once users locate an article of interest, they simply need to click on the Quick QUB icon to log in to QUB's (Queen's University Belfast) library using their credentials. This eliminates the need to search for articles again after logging into the university system.
The installation process for Quick QUB is straightforward. Users can easily install the extension and then start searching for articles using their favorite search engine. By clicking on the red Q button, the page will reload and prompt users to enter their QUB login information if necessary. Once logged in, users can freely read or download the full-text copy of their desired article.
It is important to note that Queen's University Belfast may not have access to all academic journals. Nevertheless, Quick QUB streamlines the process of accessing articles off-campus, providing a convenient solution for students and researchers.
