LibKey Nomad

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that automatically provides links to the full text of journal articles subscribed to by the Library and eBooks held in the Library collection, while you are carrying out your research. If we do not hold a subscription to an article it will point you to open access alternatives.

Find out more by watching this short video which explains how the extension works.
