LibKey Nomad

LibKey Nomad makes locating full-text journal articles easier, and is a free browser extension made available by NHS England.

LibKey Nomad is available for Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Simply add the extension to your browser and select the organisation you work for.

Once added, LibKey Nomad indicates if an article is available in full-text through the library. It works on many publisher websites, PubMed, and Wikipedia and adds links to access the full-text or PDF. It also now works on Google Scholar, provides links to 'Full Text @ My Library' once you've selected your library in the Google Scholar 'Library Links' setting.

LibKey Nomad also checks for open access articles, so even if we don't subscribe to a journal, you may still be able to get access to an article, and if this is not possible, LibKey Nomad will direct you to our article request form where it will add the article details for you to make requesting a copy via the library much easier.
