[Quotes from Contest]
"LibX has made it easier to access various sources on the UConn Library site and also makes it SO much easier to access articles when I am not on campus!"
"It makes you feel you are always connected to our excellent library resources and staff!"
"It has made it easier because instead clicking through multiple pages I can simply click on the toolbar and ask for help no problem."
