CARLI Webinar: Learn how libraries use LibKey to overcome common access barriers

Users face common barriers when trying to access full text. In library systems these can be needless clicks, broken links, being linked to retracted and other problematic articles, and more. When searching the open web, it's common for researchers to hit paywalls at publisher websites or arrive at sites like the New York Times not knowing that access is available from an aggregator source.

Join Third Iron CEO and Co-founder Kendall Bartsch to learn how over 1,600 libraries around the world, including a growing number of CARLI libraries, are using LibKey technology to overcome these challenges. LibKey is a flexible technology that can be easily integrated into discovery services, used in databases, installed as a browser extension, and integrated into other services like ILLiad. LibKey offers a simple, elegant solution to complex access problems that saves researchers time, reduces the load on the help desk, preserves scholarly integrity, and decreases unnecessary ILL requests - all while meeting the expectations of students, faculty, and researchers.

Kendall will provide an overview of LibKey, a live demonstration, and share recent updates on LibKey Nomad++ and integrations with other services like ILLiad. The webinar is free but space is limited, register today to secure your spot. We look forward to having you join us!
