Library Alternatives
Provide alternative legal routes to discover full-text articles or eBooks when patrons hit barriers
Request demoFor your patrons:
Avoid unnecessary paywalls
Patrons don't spend money on articles or eBooks they may already have access to
Keep researching
Patrons spend more time researching and less time worrying about access
Find the library
Patrons get redirected to your library's e-resources when the article or eBook is available elsewhere
For your library:
Better use of your e-resources
Leading patrons back to the library when they hit a paywall increases usage
More options
Searching for Open Access alternatives when you don't have the article or eBook gives your patrons more options
A helping hand
Help ensure patrons can find what they need even when you aren't with them
