2. Bookmarking resources

This page provides key steps to:

  • Bookmark a variety of resources from the Library and the Internet.
  • The process for requesting digitisation of a book chapter or extraction.

 

Note

No matter what you are bookmarking, for the best results using the extension, start from a webpage that has details of the item you want to bookmark (ie. Title, author, etc.). PDFs hide the information from the extension so the resulting bookmark has limited to no information.
