What is LibKey Nomad?
Answer
Overview
LibKey Nomad is a web browser extension that helps connect you to full-text articles available through the Clarkson College library when viewing content directly on publisher's websites or online resources such as PubMed, Wikipedia, or Google Scholar.
Benefits of LibKey Nomad:
- Provides one-click access to full-text articles available through library resources
- Uses Unpaywall and other sources to deliver open access articles
- Uses Clarkson College standard authentication method so no credentials are cached in your browser
How to Use LibKey Nomad
Use the link above to download and install the extension, which is available for Chromium-based browsers (such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge) and Firefox. During the installation process, you'll be asked to identify your institution; simply search for and select Daemen College.
Publisher pages
If you use Google or Google Scholar, you'll often be directed to publisher's pages when searching for articles, but since you did not go through the library's links for these services, you haven't been authenticated and you'll be asked to pay to access the article. With LibKey Nomad installed, you'll see a popup that will authenticate you to allow access.
PubMed
On PubMed, you'll see links to articles and PDFs directly on the search results page. You'll also get links to view all the articles in a journal issue through BrowZine.
