8 Reasons Researchers should use the GetFTR Browser Extension

Following a successful beta, the GetFTR Browser Extension officially launched last month and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

The GetFTR Browser Extension is free-to-use resource that indicates what book and journal content is available for researchers to access right at the point of discovery. Erika Boardman, Librarian at the Murrey Atkins Library, University of North Carolina at Charlotte was a member of the Beta Testing team and kindly agreed to present “8 Reasons Researchers should use the GetFTR Browser Extension” at the Charleston Conference earlier this month.

Erica has kindly allowed us to share her presentation and write up what she said.

The Browser is completely free-to-use with easy set-up that works with your Institutional Subscriptions.

Browser-blog-post-1

Alerts researchers to available content - GetFTR signals which content researchers can access.

Browser-blog-post-2

One-click access to the high quality research - GetFTR removed unnecessary steps from the research process which instills confidence in researchers and librarians that they will no longer reach dead ends when following a research path.
Streamlines access to the latest research - GetFTR takes researchers to the most up-to-date version of text, every time so researchers can be confident they are reading the current version of the articles.
Includes #OpenAccess and freely available content - GetFTR adds links to all subscription, open access, and free content. We know that some library systems can hide OA articles in hybrid journals so this helps expose the sometimes hard to find OA content.

Browser-blog-post-3

Works with popular discovery tools such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science, across different browsers.
Available through reputable and popular academic publishers such as Wiley, Elseveir, ACS, SpringeNature, IOPP, CABI, SAGE, ASM, AACR, OUP, Taylor & Francis and many more (GetFTR covers 60% of academic content) - GetFTR brings high quality content to researchers in a faster, more convenient way.
Created for researchers & librarians to help streamline the research process and ensure researchers are accessing the content they are entitled to read, either because their library subscribes or the content or free or open access.
