Does LibKey Link work with every database?
LibKey Link works via link resolver settings by parsing an identifier such as a DOI or a PubMed ID from the metadata sent via open URL. Some platforms, such as a Gale and Project Muse, do not include identifier metadata in their outbound Open URL links and therefore LibKey will reroute any links from these platforms via the library's traditional link resolver. In other words, LibKey cannot improve the linking experience from these platforms due to limitations with the platform's metadata, but if placed into these platforms it will 100% of the time route the user back to your link resolver.
Library Branding or LibKey Branding?
Most libraries will likely choose to continue to use a custom graphic designed by your library that users are familiar with in databases that allow for a custom logo for your link resolver link. However, some libraries who may not have custom logo - or who just like ours! - are welcome to hotlink our button in either:
We also offer a Canva Template for libraries that prefer to customize the button text:
