LibKey Discovery
Here's how LibKey Discovery works:
- Integration with discovery services: LibKey Discovery integrates seamlessly with major library discovery platforms such as ProQuest, EBSCO Discovery Service, and others.
- Enhanced article information: In addition to direct PDF links, LibKey Discovery provides options to view the complete issue of the journal in BrowZine and displays journal cover images, enriching the search experience.
- Open Access awareness: The service is enriched with data from sources like Unpaywall, allowing it to provide links to Open Access versions of articles when subscribed versions are not available.
- Multiple access options: LibKey Discovery offers various access points, including "Download PDF" for direct PDF access, "Read Article" for HTML versions on publisher sites, and "View Issue Contents" to browse the full journal issue.
- Cross-platform compatibility: The service works across all browsers and devices, including mobile phones and tablets.
By integrating these features, LibKey Discovery significantly reduces the number of clicks required to access full-text content, saving time and minimizing frustration for researchers. It works behind the scenes to enhance the library's existing discovery tool, making the research process more efficient and user-friendly.
Using LibKey
Start your search in any EBSCOhost database with the full-text filter unchecked. The LibKey link is displayed under titles we do not own.
Using LibKey
Not every LibKey link will redirect to the full-text article. If we do not subscribe to the title or the title is not available through open access LibKey will redirect to the publisher's page.
