When we asked our friends at the Himmelfarb Library if they had gifts to share, Laura Abate, the Associate Director for Library Operations, had an enthusiastic yes, something she described as “life changing.”
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that connects you directly to full-text articles from the Himmelfarb Library’s collection. LibKey Nomad can be quickly installed on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, or Vivaldi.
If you see an interesting new journal article highlighted in your Twitter feed or anywhere online you can get the full-text directly with a click. LibKey Nomad will automatically try to find you rapid access to a full-text copy whether you’re browsing a journal’s website or using PubMed. As the Himmelfarb Library blog says, it’s “more full-text, FASTER!”
The small print: LibKey Nomad does not negate the need for durable links. Please use durable links to provide readings to students. Do not upload article pdfs to Blackboard.
