LibKey Nomad

A green flame.

LibKey Nomad is a free web browser extension which provides quick, easy access to our full-text content. If you are searching scholarly journals, PubMed, Wikipedia, or a variety of other scholarly sites, the LibKey Nomad extension will show you if the article is available via our full-text subscriptions, with a button to directly access the full-text. If an article isn’t available in full-text LibKey Nomad will provide a pre-populated form allowing you to seamlessly request the article from the library.

LibKey Nomad is currently available for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Brave and Vivaldi.

Access

LibKey Nomad is automatically installed on all Trust computers and laptops. To install Nomad on your personal computer, visit https://thirdiron.com/downloadnomad. Once installed, select ‘East Cheshire NHS Trust’ from the list of organisations.
