It's also insanely efficient to post the link in the search and immediately have the paper.

    Yes, much better than the alternative system. Look, I found a cool article about a topic. Let's open it on the publisher website. Oh I need access for this, let's login. After login I still have no access and get redirected to institutional login. Get back to publisher, now I have institutional credentials, but need to login again. Finally done!

    Your institution does not have access to this paper.
