One Click Access with Kopernio
Posted in: Homepage Features
If you鈥檙e tired of managing tons of tabs, database log-ins, and endless redirects, Kopernio, a browser extension, is the tool for you!聽Kopernio checks citations against the Sprague Library’s database subscriptions to let you know if we have access to an article. If we do not, Kopernio will attempt to locate an Open Access alternative.
Kopernio only takes a few clicks to install. Once it鈥檚 a part of your browser, it will prompt you to log in with the credentials associated with your school or organization. This will give the extension access to all of our electronic library subscriptions on top of the expansive open access databases it searches. Once you鈥檝e saved a PDF to your 鈥淟ocker鈥 in Kopernio, you can open the 鈥淟ocker鈥 tab to see all the full text PDFs you鈥檝e accessed and organize them for use in your project.
Kopernio is a product from the Web of Science group, the same group that brings us citation managers like EndNote. It currently has over 550,000 users worldwide, and it鈥檚 completely free! To get started, check out in the Open Access Guide. If you have any questions, email askref@montclair.edu.
