WaterLib Extension

Accessing articles via Primo or the University of Waterloo website is long and interrupts productivity flow during research. This extension is a one-click convenience that allows instant access to academic journal articles hidden behind paywalls.

Although this extension is not directly associated with the University of Waterloo, the extension will require your student login credentials to access the articles.

How to use:
1. Navigate to the article
2. Single click the WaterLib extension icon in the top right corner of your browser window
3. If you are already signed in to your Waterloo library account, you will be redirected to the article with full access. Otherwise, you will be asked to login before gaining access.

**NOTE: This chrome extension does not collect any personal data. All authentication is separate from the extension. The extension only redirects to the sign-on page, if necessary.**
