Modified on Thu, 27 Feb at 7:41 AM

The following is a complete list of active LibKey integrated services across the scholarly ecosystem along with links to the appropriate service and/or the setup information found on Third Iron support pages.

LibKey Discovery / API

Most of these services require a library to do an initial bit of setup so that users will have a seamless experience, but some services provide a mechanism for a user to self-affiliate instead so there is no setup on the library side but a brief setup for the user.

LibKey Link

Technically, LibKey Link can be used anywhere your link resolver is used, but the list below provides a listing with links to instructions for a number of the most popular services where link resolvers are used. You can learn more about using LibKey link here and how to construct your unique LibKey Link URL.

LibKey Nomad

Setup is done either by the end user who downloads LibKey Nomad or via a site install where the IT group at your organization can pre-configure it on managed machines.

LibKey Nomad provides linking capabilities across hundreds of different domains and thousands of publishers when a user is viewing the article page on the publisher's site.

But there are additional special integrations that provide unique functionality based on a given platform or domain.

Google Scholar

In Google Scholar, when a user has the Nomad extension installed and configured for their library, LibKey Nomad will automatically tell Google Scholar the institution you belong to so that the library's "library links" will show up. Typically, this only happens for a user if:

The user is within the IP range that the library has reported to Google Scholar as being an "on campus" IP
The user is signed into their Google account *and* they have hand-configured Google Scholar to utilize their institution's library links.

Since neither of these may commonly happen, simply installing Nomad helps easily improve the quality of the user experience for Google Scholar users by connecting the search results to the library's collection.

In-Line Enhanced Sites

The following sites are sites where Nomad re-writes the content of the page to insert context-aware links and cover images.

These sites include:

PubMed - Article Linking, BrowZine View Complete Issue, Cover Images both in the search results and individual records view
Wikipedia - Article Linking within References
SciFinder-N - Article Linking, BrowZine View Complete Issue, Cover Images both in the search results and individual records view
Covidence - Article Linking within the Listing of articles in the Review sections "Title and abstract screening", Full text review", and "Extraction"
Scopus - Article Linking, BrowZine View Complete Issue, Cover Images in individual records.
EMBASE - Article Linking, BrowZine View Complete Issue, Cover Images in individual records.
UpToDate - Article Linking within references
Micromedex - Article Linking within references

LibKey.io

These services never require any library setup because the workflow allows the user to self-affiliate to their organization when prompted to help provide the correct linking to full text.
