LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that provides you with fast, one-click access to scholarly articles. When a scholarly publisher page loads, LibKey Nomad uses the DOI or PMID of the article, compares it to RUSH's journal subscriptions. If the article is available, you can download the PDF or view the full-text online. LibKey Nomad is linked to the library's catalog. If the article is not part of the library's subscriptions, LibKey Nomad is connected to our Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) Service. For additional information on ILLiad, please refer to our Borrowing guide.

Once installed, your Full Text Review results will look like the image below. Clicking the icon for Download PDF will bring you to the artlcle.

LibKey Nomad can be added to the following browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi. Like most browser extensions, it can be turned on and off under your extension settings. 

Links to download the Nomad extension for many popular browsers can be found on Third Iron's LibKey Nomad page.

LibKey Nomad should now be successfully installed and connected. This only has to be done once. 

Once installed, LibKey Nomad will quickly look for the DOI or PMID of the article, and determine if the Library has access to the full-text. If so, it will add a button to obtain article access. 

This will either redirect to the article's PDF or to a new page where the full-text can be viewed online. If the article is not readily available, the button will redirect to the library's catalog where you can view different access options such as online text availability or placing an Interlibrary loan request.
