Finding full text articles on publishers’ websites and Google Scholar just got easier thanks to University Libraries and LibKey Nomad. Once installed, the Nomad plugin will display an icon on webpages when it detects citation information. The icon will allow you to download the full text or direct you to an Interlibrary Loan form when full text isn’t directly available. This brief workshop will demonstrate the installation process for Chrome and Firefox and show how LibKey Nomad works.

We’ll also highlight online collections where you can find high quality photography and images that are free to use.
