We recommend LibKey Nomad and Unpaywall. These tools are free and library approved!

**LibKey Nomad** is a tool that provides one click access to PDFs. The browser plugin for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox pulls data from our UTK library resources and Open Access resources to provide you quick access to full text content. LibKey Nomad is offered by Third Iron, creators of Browzine.

**Unpaywall** is an open database of free scholarly articles. They harvest Open Access content from over 50,000 publishers and repositories, and make it easy to find, track, and use. You can get their browser extension for free.
