how to drag and drop into bookmark bar

Using the Bookmarklet

Next time you encounter a paywall to access the full text of an article, click “NCAR Library Proxy” in your browser’s bookmark bar.

Then, log in and access the full text (if we subscribe to the journal).

Don’t pay for full-text access! If you can’t access an article, contact library@ucar.edu; we may be able to get it through interlibrary loan.
