Third Iron, LLC, a leading EdTech company developing innovative services for libraries, publishers and their users, announced the available integration of LibKey for libraries subscribing to Third Iron services and InfoDesk. LibKey, an AI-powered, next generation linking technology delivers fast, reliable, one-click access to millions of library-subscribed and Open Access articles that libraries make available from publisher and aggregator sources. InfoDesk delivers AI-driven technologies and powerful end-user tools to transform huge volumes of internal and external information into actionable insights, enabling smarter decisions.
“Researchers access full text from many different points of discovery and InfoDesk is one that is very important. We were delighted to work with the InfoDesk team to integrate LibKey, delivering their users the benefits of next generation full text linking technology,” said Kendall Bartsch, CEO at Third Iron. “Researchers generally find link resolvers confusing, time consuming to use, and frustrating when they end in dead links. In providing one-click access to content, LibKey helps researchers using InfoDesk reclaim valuable time that is otherwise lost clicking through menus, waiting for pages to load, and dealing with broken links,” continued John Seguin, Third Iron President and Chief Librarian.
“We’re very pleased to be partnering with Third Iron” said Lynn Epstein, COO at InfoDesk. “We have spent the past 20 years building technologies and establishing partnerships that enable our customers to access the business-critical insights they need most. Enabling LibKey integration aligns with this goal as it will enable our customers to save huge amounts of valuable time by ensuring they can access the research they are looking for, with a single click”
