Chapter 3. Making Access More Seamless with Access Broker Browser Extensions

Abstract

EndNote Click, Lean Library, LibKey Nomad, Google Scholar Button—these are some access broker browser extensions, which are widely used by academic libraries to help users easily gain access to library resources more seamlessly, particularly if they do not start from a library page. Chapter 3 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 58, no. 6), “Making Access More Seamless with Access Broker Browser Extensions,” will discuss how they compare with each other and the general pros and cons of these tools.
