LibKey Nomad, created by Third Iron (creators of BrowZine), is a browser extension (also known as a browser plugin or browser add-on) that provides instant links to full-text articles subscribed to by the Strauss Health Sciences Library as well as open access articles. LibKey Nomad is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Vivaldi, and Brave​ browsers. 

Download browser extensions here:

• LibKey Nomad Chrome browser extension
• LibKey Nomad Firefox extension
• LibKey Nomad Safari extension
• LibKey Nomad Edge extension

The following are instructions for LibKey Nomad using Chrome, but steps should be similar for all other browsers. If you need assistance please contact the library.

After adding the extension to Chrome be sure to select our institution ("University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus") from the dropdown available on the extension set-up page:

After the extension has been added and you’ve selected our institution you’ll begin seeing “Download PDF” buttons when looking at article abstracts in PubMed:

If the PDF of an article is not available through the Strauss Health Sciences Library subscriptions nor is open access, you will see a button called "Access Options...":

The "Access Options..." button will direct you to the Strauss Health Sciences Library catalog, Library Search, to confirm we do not have access and provide the option to request the article via InterLibrary Loan (ILL). 

Additionally, if you are a vendor's site for an article and full text is available, you will see a "Download PDF" button in the lower left side of Chrome. 

If you are off-campus when using LibKey Nomad, and have not yet logged in to proxy, the first licensed content button that you access through LibKey during your browser session will redirect you through our EZProxy login page. As long as you do not close your browser you will not be asked to log in through proxy again during the current browser session.

If you encounter any issues please submit a help case and library staff will assist.
