Open in NCSU Library is a free Chrome extension developed by lizhouyu1997. This handy tool is designed to streamline the process of accessing research papers from various databases. With Open in NCSU Library, users no longer need to search for papers in one database and then manually search for the same paper in NCSU Library to download the PDF.

The extension adds an "Open in NCSU Library" button to supported database webpages such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Science Direct. When users come across a paper they want to access, they simply click the button and are instantly redirected to the mirror webpage of the same paper in NCSU Library.

This time-saving extension is a great addition for researchers and students who frequently use these databases for their academic work. With Open in NCSU Library, accessing research papers becomes more convenient and efficient.
