Browser Extentions
Unpaywall
Unpaywall
Browser: Chrome, Firefox
Get the full text of scientific articles as you browse. When you view a research article, Unpaywall automatically searches for a copy in its index of 20 million free, legal, full-text PDFs. Unpaywall directs you to legal, author-published manuscripts hosted on university and government web servers. They link to versions that have been published with the full and explicit authorisation of the publishers themselves.
We recommend Unpaywall to anyone who does not have remote access to HSLU or Uni/PH E-Resources.

LibKey Nomad
Browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, Safari
The extension from the provider Third Iron is suitable for searching for freely available open access and library-licensed journal articles and e-books on various platforms. It can also be used to search the PubMed and Scopus databases. LibKey Nomad also works for searches in Wikipedia and ResearchGate.
We recommend LibKey Nomad for members of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, the University of Lucerne, the University of Teacher Education Lucerne, University of Teacher Education Zug and the University of Teacher Education Schwyz with remote access to the e-media licensed by the respective institution.
