FirstSearch Supports Internet Explorer 7

FirstSearch now supports IE7 (and IE6). If you are using IE7 you will need to modify your pop-up settings so that wanted sites are listed as trusted sites.

In IE, go to: Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings. In the area labeled “Allowed Sites,” enter “*.oclc.org”. If you use RefWorks, enter “*.refworks.com”.

Make sure the “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone” is unchecked, otherwise you will get a warning “Sites added to this zone must use the https:// prefix.” If you get that message, uncheck the required server verification and enter “*.oclc.org” again.

Next click on close and OK to exit the menu and close the browser. Now when you open your browser you will find export to RefWorks and other features work.
