The LibKey button may show up to 6 different labels to connect you with the resource. Below describes what each of these labels mean:

Description

Download PDF
You will be able to access the PDF automatically or be prompted to download the PDF to your device. Authentication may be required by signing in using your Okta credentials. The PDF either comes from the publisher or their official version (based on Unpaywall data), but it's stored in a repository like PubMed Central or a university archive.
Article Link
Similar to above, but instead of a PDF, you will see a web page with the full text or a link to the PDF, requiring one extra click. 
Manuscript PDF
The article was found as an Accepted Manuscript in a repository. It’s been peer-reviewed, but likely isn’t in its final published format, so it might look like an unformatted Word document or similar. These files never require a login.
Manuscript Link
Same as above, but it may take one extra click to reach the PDF if it is available. No login is needed.
Access Options...
The full text may not be available for immediate access. You'll be redirected to our library catalog to submit a Tipasa request. Be sure to log in to view the request form. You can find more information about Tipasa on our website
