What is LibKey

LibKey is an API that works with the University of Witwaterstrand Libraries subscriptions to provide quick, one-click access to full-text journal articles. The Library subscribes to the LibKey Suite, namely BrowZine, LibKey.io, LibKey Nomad, LibKey Discovery and LibKey Link.

• Information video
• Download the LibKey Nomad browser extension. 
• Access BrowZine from the web or download the free app to your mobile device. 

What do the LibKey access buttons mean?

•  - This takes you directly to the PDF article.
•  - The library does not have access to the direct PDF link. In this case, the button will take you to a publisher page in case of open access or to the record of the article's database, where you can click on the full text.
  This can be because: 
  • The publisher only has a .html copy and not a PDF copy.
  • The journal aggregator (platform) like EBSCO or Proquest does not support direct PDF linking yet.
•   - The library does not have immediate access to this article. It takes you to a page where you can access it via an Interlibrary Loan.
•  - Usually delivers an Open Access document; if there is no open access document, it provides a green open access document. This can be from an Institutional Repository or a pre-published version.

LibKey Discovery 

LibKey Discovery organically integrates the power of LibKey in your discovery system. Users benefit from one-click access to content, being able to view the complete journal issue from where the discovered article is from, and seeing cover images from over 22,000 journals. Wits Library users can see the LibKey Discovery results in searches done from the Library web page, look out for the cover images, “View Now”, “Article Page” and “View in Context” links, which will automatically display during the trial period.
