Finding full text

Easily locate scholarly articles on the web

If you've found an article on a website you don't need to search for it again in the Library to get access. The extension will automatically connect you to articles in our collection.

Easy off-campus access

If you are researching off-campus, the extension automatically knows you are from Notre Dame and will allow access. Unlike many publisher websites where they only recognise you as being from Notre Dame if you are on-campus.

Secure browsing

LibKey does not require you to create a personal account and does not track your usage. Unlike some other browser extensions, no Notre Dame login details are stored in your browser
