What you get
You get quicker access to scholarly articles your library makes available.
LibKey Nomad helps you get from an article you discover online to a copy you can read. You receive direct access links when an article is available through your library’s journal subscriptions or Open Access sources, reducing the need to hunt through publisher and library pages yourself.
After installation, you select your institution. As you browse, you’re shown available article links, with a route to the content based on your library’s access. You can use it on supported research sites including PubMed, Wikipedia, ResearchGate, and SciFinder-N, so you don’t have to start every search at your library’s website.
You can keep using other research aids alongside it. Your access still depends on your library’s subscriptions and available Open Access copies; it does not unlock every journal article.
