LibKey and BrowZine

An AI-powered technology integrated into KAMK-Finna’s international e-materials search delivers

1. a direct link to the PDF article (LibKey Discovery Link)
2. a link to the complete issue with all articles published on the same journal (Link to BrowZine)

In the KAMK-Finna's international e-materials search results page the links appear like this:

Functionality does not always find LibKey and BrowZine links. However, the search results may show a link to the database where the article can be found.

NB: At the end of the page you will find various examples of search results, showing the different types of links that may appear in the search results, depending on the material found.

LibKey's "waterfall" algorithm searches for articles in a particular order. The algorithm always prioritises open access articles.

1. First, it checks whether the article is available as a Version of Record (VoR) Open Access link
2. If it is not available, the next step is to check whether the library has subscribed to the e-journal directly from the publisher.
3. If this is also not available, the algorithm checks whether the library has subscribed to the e-journal through an aggregator (e.g. Ebsco). If the subscribed resources contain exactly the same e-journal, LibKey selects the fastest and most reliable of the aggregators.
4. In addition, there is the possibility of a non-version of record (OA) of the article and the possibility of ordering the article via the library's interlibrary loan service (not available at Kamk).

In general, both the LibKey Discovery link (PDF Full Text) and the BrowZine link (View Complete Issue) are displayed in the search results. LibKey's algorithm directly selects the PDF to be displayed. In this example, it takes you to Ebsco Academic Search Complete.

LibKey is unable to link directly to article. These can be accessed via the resource's specific links.
