The LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that helps you discover and access scholarly journal articles and e-books available from Citrus College library when you are doing research on the web. It gives you one-click access to full-text articles and e-books found on websites like PubMed, Wikipedia, Google Scholar and Amazon.
The extension is conveniently installed and configured on Chrome on all of the computers in the library. For convenience, we encourage you to install the LibKey Nomad browser extension on your personal devices by following the instructions below. Please note the extension will work on browsers on computers and tablets, but it is not currently available for smartphone browsers.
1. Go to the LibKey Nomad Download website.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the button for your preferred browser.
3. Follow the prompts to add the extension.
4. Select Citrus College from the Select Organization menu. This will activate the extension and you can close the tab to start using it.
After you have followed the installation instructions above, look for the LibKey button to directly connect to articles and e-books available from the Citrus College library.
Some places you will likely see LibKey buttons include PubMed, Wikipedia, journal publisher websites, Amazon and Google Books.
When you click on a LibKey button, if you are off-campus you may be prompted to authenticate using your usual Citrus College username and password.
Please note that LibKey only "knows" about scholarly content. For articles, that means the reference must include either a DOI (Document Object Identifier) or a PMID (PubMed Identifier). It won't direct you to articles in newspapers or popular or trade magazines. If you are looking for those types of resources, you should search OneSearch or a relevant library article database. Not sure which one? Ask a librarian!
