LibKey

LibKey is a suite of tools designed to streamline access to library-subscribed content, making it easier for users to find and utilize relevant academic resources. The primary component of LibKey is LibKey Nomad, a browser extension that integrates with major browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Brave. This extension helps users avoid publisher paywalls by linking them directly to open access and licensed library content when searching on publisher websites, search engines, or platforms like Wikipedia.

LibKey's key features include seamless integration with library resources, providing one-click access to subscribed content. This simplifies the research process by ensuring that users can quickly locate and access relevant articles and journals without navigating through multiple layers of authentication or encountering paywalls. Additionally, LibKey supports various library systems, allowing users to select their institution and access resources accordingly. This tool is particularly useful for researchers and students who frequently need to access academic literature, as it enhances the efficiency of their research workflow by making library resources more accessible and convenient to use.
