Connecting LibKey and Article Galaxy Scholar: Expanding Academic Access Through Intelligent Fulfillment

Zaregistrujte sa na webinár.

Academic libraries face a persistent challenge: how do you provide comprehensive access to scholarly content when traditional publisher and aggregator subscriptions only cover a portion of what researchers and students need?

The integration between LibKey and Article Galaxy Scholar (AGS) addresses this gap by creating a more complete pathway to academic content.

Third Iron and Research Solutions have been hard at work over the last year to develop an integration of LibKey into the AGS workflow.

This integration works by incorporating AGS's unmediated document delivery capabilities directly into LibKey's existing workflow. When a user encounters an article, LibKey automatically checks Open Access sources, existing subscriptions, and aggregator content first. Only when these options are exhausted does the system consult AGS for unmediated delivery—ensuring libraries don't pay for content they already have access to while expanding what's immediately available to users.
