What do the LibKey access buttons mean?

• This takes you directly to the PDF article.
•  The library does not have access to the direct PDF link. In this case, the button will take you to a publisher page in case of open access or to the record of the article's database, where you can click on the full text.
  This can be because: 
  • The publisher only has a .html copy and not a PDF copy.
  • The journal aggregator (platform) like EBSCO or Proquest does not support direct PDF linking yet.
•  Example of LibKey Access Option Button Link  - The library does not have immediate access to this article. It takes you to a page where you can access it via an Interlibrary Loan.
• LibKey Manuscript pdf Button exampleUsually delivers an Open Access document; if there is no open access document, it provides a green open access document. This can be from an Institutional Repository or a pre-published version.
