CITAVI is the Software to support your academic writing and referencing - free for all MCI affiliates, available for Windows and in a web-based version (also for Mac users).
How to get the free CITAVI license
The LibKey Nomad browser extension by Third Iron is available for Firefox, Chrome, MS Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi and can be downloaded here.
It detects, when loading pages of academic journals and resources like Scopus, Google Scholar, or Wikipedia, whether an article is provided by the selected library. Additionally, it checks if an Open Access or other freely available version exists. When a match is found, a button allows direct access to the PDF or HTML version.
In addition to its own library services, the MCI has signed an exemplary cooperation agreement with the University and State Library of Tyrol (ULB) which provides MCI’s researchers, lecturers and students with full access to the university library facilities.
- Use of ULB services (lending, interlibrary loan, reading rooms) requires the activation of the MCI Student Card as ULB library card:
myMCI > Profiles > Privacy > ULB or with the MyMCI App
(if you don't have a student card yet, you can still activate it and use any form of personal ID for using the ULB services)
- Opening hours of all ULB branches
- For longer stays a check-in via the booking terminal or at the service desk is required, you can book a seat in advance.
- You can also use inter-library loan (for literature that is not available in Innsbruck) after login to BibSearch.
