E-journals

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension which provides easy access to our journal subscriptions, or to Open Access versions.  It is particularly useful when you are not logged in to a publisher site, or you are browsing Google Scholar, Wikipedia, and other sites. 

It can be used on the following web browsers - Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi and Safari.

Go to the Download Nomad webpage and choose the web browser you wish to use with the extension, as below.

Clicking on the browser link will take you to the LibKey Nomad page in the browser's web store.  Follow the instructions to install it in your chosen browser.  You will be asked to select your institution - type in University of Dundee as below.  This will allow the LibKey Nomad extension to interact with the University of Dundee's subscribed  journal titles.

LibKey Nomad works behind the scenes on your browser:

• When using resources such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Wikipedia, look out for the green LibKey Nomad button to get the full text of articles.
• Sometimes LibKey Nomad will direct you to login to your University of Dundee account if it finds access to our University subscriptions
• LibKey Nomad can also find Open Access versions of journal articles, and link you directly through to the full text
• When LibKey Nomad does not find full text, it will direct you to other options which our Library can supply, such as Interlibrary loan.
