An interesting firefox addon is now available allowing you to access journal articles directly through Google. Download it and install it from the Firefox addon page. Then simply go into: - Tools > Addons then click Options under the Advanced URL Builder. - Click on Add, a New Item will appear - Double click on it to edit it - Under name put UQ Library, - Under URL put http://www.library.uq.edu.au/ezp.php?url=- - Then if you find a journal article in a Google search right click on it and press Find using… > UQ Library

This will route the Google link through the library servers and if the library subscribes to the journal you should, after authenticating, have access to the full text of the article.
