Following a successful trial period, HSB has licensed LibKey (provider: Third Iron). LibKey gives you easy access to electronic resources, including e-books and online journal articles.

Please feel free to try out the following features. We look forward to receiving your feedback via our contact form!

To use the LibKey features, you will usually need to be connected to the campus network, via VPN, or use Shibboleth authentication. As Shibboleth authentication is not available on all platforms, we generally make the recommendation to use LibKey products whilst connected to the campus network or via VPN.

LibKey Nomad:

Ā© Third Iron

LibKey Nomad is an extension for all popular web browsers, such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc. On various online platforms, the extension provides you with direct and straightforward access to the full-text electronic resources licensed by HSB.

Key benefits of LibKey Nomad:

  • If the licensed full text is available on a different platform, LibKey Nomad will still provide access to that platform.
  • With its inline integration, LibKey Nomad provides direct access to the full-text content licensed by the HSB on Wikipedia or PubMed.
  • In the case of retracted articles or articles with an Expression of Concern (EOC), LibKey Nomad will indicate this accordingly.

LibKey Nomad also works on online platforms such as Amazon or Google Books ā€“ with LibKey Nomad, you can then access the platform offering the available e-book directly from there.

To use LibKey Nomad, first install the ā€˜LibKey Nomadā€™ extension in your browser and then select ā€˜Mittweida University of Applied Sciencesā€™ as your organisation.

Canā€™t find the title youā€™re looking for in our collection? You can still search our Primo search portal; you may be able to find it in print. If not, you can submit an interlibrary loan request or an acquisition proposal to us.

LibKey.io:

On LibKey.io, you can search directly for DOIs and PubMed IDs (PMIDs) of articles. You will then immediately be presented with access options for the full text available at HSB.

LibKey.io will highlight any articles that have been retracted or those accompanied by an Expression of Concern (EOC).

BrowZine:

In BrowZine, you can ā€˜browseā€™ through online journals licensed by the HSB whilst also accessing the full text of articles directly and easily.

BrowZine is currently only available to HSMW members via a web browser. The service will soon be activated in the BrowZine app, and additional BrowZine features, such as My Bookshelf, will then be available.

Further features of LibKey @HSB:

Direct access to the licensed full text will also soon be available via our Primo search portal. We will let you know here as soon as the integration into Primo has been set up.
