BIBLIOTHEKE

from the press release

Openly Informatics, Inc. (http://www.openly.com/) today announced that it had added OpenURL 1.0 support, along with several other user-friendly features, to an Open Source browser plugin extension that adds linking to web pages in the Google Scholar service.

The plug-in software, called “OpenURL Referrer”, works with the Firefox Web Browser (http://www.getfirefox.com/) and was inspired by a “proof-of-concept” released by Peter Binkley, a librarian at the University of Alberta Libraries. Although Google Scholar can very useful for identifying the title, author, and other bibliographic information associated with an article, very often users can’t use Google Scholar to access the full text of an article. This is because Google Scholar links to many articles in restricted databases that require a subscription or payment to access the full text.

UPDATE: Seems to work fine here (EZproxy and everything):
