LibKey Nomad is a helpful browser extension which our IT and Library teams have recently rolled out across all Trust PCs.

When searching for information, on Google Scholar or PubMed for instance, LibKey Nomad will automatically link to the library’s journal collection, allowing you to download the article instantly at no cost. If the article is not immediately available, LibKey Nomad will fill in a request form which will be sent to the library who will then try to obtain the article for you within 24 hours.

You don't need to have an account for LibKey to work, though occasionally you may be asked to sign in with an OpenAthens account if the article is not available – contact the library for a reminder of your login details, or register for free.

If you work from home and would like to use LibKey on your own PC or laptop, you can easily install it here.

For more information, contact the library at library@cht.nhs.uk or 01422 224 191.
