yatori kataya (ID: 0000009a85514172) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 Load NUS Libproxy has been a game-changer for my academic pursuits at NUS. Gone are the days of tedious bookmark management; this extension seamlessly integrates and provides direct access to the coveted journal articles behind paywalls. It's become an essential tool in my research arsenal, allowing me to dive into resources with a mere click. A big shoutout to the creator for developing such a handy tool tailored for the NUS community! For potential users, bear in mind that this tool is specifically designed for National University of Singapore students and staff. So, ensure you have a valid NUS account to make the most of it. P.S.: Would love to see a curated list of similarly invaluable tools for the academic community. Great work on this one!

student from nus (ID: 0000007819332bbc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/14/2022 very convenient extension for NUS student like me. i hate using bookmarks and this extension replaces the nus library bookmark. This allows me to access journal articles with a single click. thanks alot for this! Note to new users, this app is only for National University of Singapore Students or Staff. If you dont have a valid NUS account, you wont be able to use it. I hope there is a compilation of such useful tools for students/researchers.
