SIRE button

The SIRE button is a bookmarklet that allows you to access e-resources automatically through SIRE (E-Resources Access Service) at any point during browsing.

Installing the SIRE button in desktop browsers

 It can be installed in the most common browsers: Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Safari by simply clicking on the SIRE button that we show you and dragging it to the bookmarks bar (the bar must be visible):

In Firefox you can also right-click on the button and select Bookmark link.

Once installed, in the bookmarks bar you will see SIRE Recursos-e CRAI UB.

  2. From this page, select "SIRE Recursos-e CRAI UB", which you have previously installed in favorites
