•    LibKey Nomad is a browser extension active at sites researchers visit, including publisher pages, PubMed, Google, etc.). Download the LibKey Nomad browser extension on your desktop or laptop
•    LibKey.io is a single search box that allows users to search by DOI or PMID.

LibKey Suite integrates the Unpaywall Open Access database, expanding the library collection to link to most Open Access (OA) content. LibKey has also partnered with Retraction Watch, so it can inform users at the point of article linking about the retraction status of an article before they link to it.
