LibKey Nomad offers easy off-campus access to Libraries resources

Did you know that as you browse the Internet and discover links to books and other materials, a browser plugin can let you know immediately if that item is available to access from the University Libraries?

LibKey Nomad is a new browser extension that provides instant links to articles, journals, e-books and more subscribed to by the Libraries while you search the web, on or off campus.

LibKey Nomad is licensed by the Libraries and locates the fastest path to content across thousands of publishers and millions of articles. It works on websites like PubMed, Wikipedia, Amazon and hundreds of scholarly publisher websites and research databases.

How it works

EBSCO updates LibKey monthly with our holdings. When a user with the extension installed navigates to a website that works with LibKey Nomad, a button will appear. Clicking that button will send the user to the “best” version of the resource in our holdings and grant them access to it. This allows you to quickly and easily access research on the web without having to navigate to the Libraries website to search our holdings.
