What is the Scrible Extension? The Scrible Extension is a browser add-on that connects your web browser to your Scrible account. It lets you save, annotate, and organize online content as you conduct research.

Purpose of the Scrible Extension: The Scrible Extension streamlines your research by allowing you to save, annotate, cite, highlight, comment, and collaborate on online sources—all directly in your browser.

All actions happen in real time as you browse, keeping your research workflow efficient and uninterrupted.

Sourcing with Scrible: When you find an article or webpage you want to keep—whether on a regular site or in a research database like Gale, EBSCO, or JSTOR—you can save it to your Scrible Library with one click using the Extension. This helps you keep all your sources organized in one place without relying on browser bookmarks.

The Scrible Extension lets you do more than just save webpages. You can:

• Highlight important content

• Share annotated pages with others for easy collaboration

This is especially useful for group projects, peer reviews, or sharing findings with colleagues.
