Quick access to PDFs: LibKey

With the Hub, you should find it easier than before to directly link to the full-text of articles. This is because the Hub uses something called LibKey which HEE has funded to help save time and ensure the best use of NHS-funded and open access resources. Where it isn’t possible to provide a link, you can request items you require directly from your library, without having to retype details or use a different request form.

LibKey also offers 2 other easy routes to access the full-text of articles that you might find outside of the Hub. 

If you know the DOI or PubMedID of the article you want to access, libkey.io is an easy way to find the full-text.

You can also download LibKey Nomad, a browser extension (use Firefox or Chrome rather than Explorer) which gives you one-click access to any articles you want to read, however you find them.
