LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that connects users with library-licensed and open access full text articles. When using LibKey Nomad, users are automatically directed to the best available version of an article so there is no need to search multiple places. When the full text is not available you will be provided with options to request the article through InterLibrary Loan (ILL).
LibKey Nomad will work in most academic publishers' websites and databases (ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, PubMed) as well as Google Scholar and Wikipedia's list of references when available.
