USFQ Library Redirector Extension

English
=======
This extension lets USFQ students and faculty download academic publications while working off-campus. If you find a paper you are interested in online at one of the sources USFQ is subscribed to (IEEE Xplore, Scopus, etc.) and cannot download the full link, press the redirector button, and you will be sent to USFQ library. There you can log in with your USFQ account and access the article.

Step by step guide:

1.- Install the extension. This will add a red dragon button to your toolbar.
2.- Find your article via your favorite search tool (Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, etc)
3.- If you don't have access to the article, press the dragon button. You will be redirected to USFQ library to log in
4.- Enter your USFQ username and password
5.- You now have access to the article! Download at your leisure.

Note: Because USFQ does not have access to every academic journal, you may not be able to download some articles with this extension. Rule of thumb: if USFQ has access, the dragon lets you in.

Suggestions and comments are welcome!

=======
Esta extensión permite a estudiantes y profesores de la USFQ descargar publicaciones académicas estando fuera del campus. Si encuentras un artículo que deseas descargar en uno de los recursos electrónicos a los que está suscrito USFQ (IEEE Xplore, Scopus, etc.) y no tienes acceso al texto completo, presiona el botón redirector y serás enviado al sitio de biblioteca. Allí podrás ingresar tus credenciales de USFQ y podrás acceder al artículo.

Guía paso a paso:

1.- Instala la extensión. Esto agregará un dragón rojo a tu barra de herramientas.
2.- Busca el artículo en tu herramienta de búsqueda preferida (Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, etc.)
3.- Si no tienes acceso al texto completo, presiona el botón del dragón. Serás redirigido a la biblioteca de USFQ para dar tus credenciales.
4.- Ingresa tu usuario y contraseña USFQ.
5.- ¡Ya tienes acceso! Descarga el artículo.

Nota: USFQ no tiene acceso a todas las revistas académicas, por lo que no podrás tener acceso a ciertos documentos con esta extensión. La regla es, si USFQ tiene acceso a la revista, el dragón te da acceso.

¡Sus sugerencias y comentarios son bienvenidos!
