How do I setup the LibKey Nomad browser extension?
Answer
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that provides easy access to full-text articles that IU Southeast subscribes to. You can access scholarly articles online wherever you start your research (Wikipedia, PubMed, publisher pages, and more) –
- From the browser of your choice (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, or Vivaldi), go to https://thirdiron.com/downloadnomad/#choose-browser
- Choose “Get LibKey Nomad Now” or scroll down to choose your web browser.
- Click on the download button next to your preferred browser. This will take you directly to the LibKey Nomad page in the browser’s web store.
- Follow the browser’s instructions to install the (free) extension – for example, clicking on “Add to Chrome” will install LibKey Nomad in Google Chrome.
Tada! You now have the LibKey Nomad browser extension added.
- You should be prompted to select your organization – type in IUS (or Indiana University Southeast) and select us from the dropdown menu.
You should then see our logo listed –
Now, when you’re searching online for scholarly sources, you can check for access through the Library using the LibKey Nomad article link (don’t ever pay for research!)
