LibKey Nomad: LibKey Nomad Browser Extension

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that enables instant access to articles from journals subscribed to by UIW Libraries and Open-Access sources without the need to start your search from the library website. It provides a direct link to the article's PDF or HTML version.  This tool does not have "permission" to provide access to certain vendor content.  Finding access to licensed and owned content may require an additional search in NestSearch on the libraries' main page.  If access to the content is undiscoverable using the browser extension or in a NestSearch, LibKey Nomad will redirect you back to UIW Libraries and help you request an Interlibrary Loan.

To install LibKey Nomad, follow these steps:

• Click on the LibKey Nomad link below.
• On the LibKey Nomad page, scroll to the bottom and click on your preferred browser to download the extension.
• Follow the download prompts, search for the University of the Incarnate Word as the organization, and pin the extension to your browser.
• Start browsing. With the extension installed, LibKey Nomad will work in the background, providing access options as you search the web.

LibKey Nomad may require you to have the most current version of the browser. If you have trouble updating your browser, contact the UIW Helpdesk at https://help.uiw.edu/support/home, click on "Report an issue" and submit a ticket.

The LibKey Nomad browser extension does not work for mobile devices or tablets.
