Libkey Discovery Tools: Introduction

LibKey provides a collection of services that simplify and accelerate access to scholarly content from both DCU Library and the wider web

What is Libkey?

LibKey is a suite of software tools that work with library resources to facilitate discovery and access to full-text content.

LibKey helps you link quickly and directly to articles, even when searching the open web.

This guide describes the following research services:

  • LibKey Nomad - a browser extension that gives you one-click access to full-text, scholarly articles.
  • Libkey Discovery - works with DCU Library Search to provide direct, one-click access to a PDF/HTML of an article where available. 
  • LibKey Link - works a lot like LibKey Discovery. Libkey Link will display a "Check for Full Text" option when browsing eligible DCU databases and discovery services.
  • LibKey.io - find full text, scholarly articles with only a DOI or PMID.
  • Browzine - virtually browse scholarly e-journals available from DCU
  • Retracted Articles - Libkey will display retraction information when applicable
