We've had the browser extension LibKey Nomad available for students, faculty, and staff for several years. It helps you gain access to scholarly articles quickly and easily, avoiding many paywalls, when you're on the open web. Even though we liked this product, we recently upgraded to…
LibKey Nomad++
We’re very excited about this one! LibKey Nomad++ is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave, and Vivaldi browsers. Once you download the version for your browser, select the University of Michigan-Flint as your organization.
Once installation is complete, compatible databases will display clickable icons for the full text of the article, often with only one click. When available, it also displays icons linking to the issue of the journal in which the article appears. Example from PubMed.
If you're unsure how to get LibKey Nomad++, a short video tutorial is available. (It’s about the older version of LibKey Nomad, but it can help you get started.)
We'll have more news and information about LibKey Nomad++ in the Fall, so stay tuned!
