What is LibKey Nomad and how do I use it?

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that detects when a journal article (or, in some cases, an ebook) on a web page you're visiting is available to you via your library's subscriptions. You do not need to be logged in to the library for this to happen—LibKey Nomad just sits in the background and will show you access buttons when it finds an available article. You'll even see this next to article paywalls.

You'll see these buttons in various places including publisher sites, Wikipedia, and Amazon.

Your librarians recommend you use LibKey Nomad.

This extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and various other browsers. As a browser extension, it monitors your browsing activity, but LibKey's vendor, Third Iron, has what we at the library consider to be a very good privacy policy. Of course, you should review that policy yourself.
