In other words, it removes the need for users to log in to Athens at the start of a session, to understand how to locate their institutional login options on an array of publisher websites, or to get locked out of full text resources due to broken link resolver links on databases. If the link is to a subscription resource, the OpenAthens login page will appear (if this is a new browser session), but no further authentication is required. If the link is to an open access article (which are prioritised by LibKey’s algorithm to minimise additional clicks for library users), no additional steps are required. The LibKey tools will be embedded in the NHS national discovery service, and clear links to full text will appear next to results on databases, publisher websites, Google Scholar, and even Wikipedia pages.

Access to journal articles is frequently mystifying to library users - even clicking through a link via an institution’s discovery service can sometimes result in confusing login options, a lack of clarity as to whether full text is available or not, or difficulty in locating the link to download PDFs.
LibKey is essential a suite of tools designed to provide one-click access to open access and subscription full-text PDFs. My library already has access to these resources through the University of Cambridge, and it’s my understanding that we will not be part of this NHS rollout, but I felt it was worth summing up the content of today’s webinar, as we do support NHS staff, and should be aware of resources they might have used when working for a previous organisation. Today I attended a webinar outlining two new resources which are being rolled out across all NHS libraries in England – BrowZine and LibKey.
