How can I use LibKey?
Answer
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that provides one-click article access to library subscriptions. The same "Download PDF" button shows across different platforms - from subscription library databases like JSTOR, to open databases like PubMed and Google Scholar, publisher journal pages, and even Wikipedia references.
Since it's connected to your browser, you don't have to go through the library website or be logged in to Brown's network to be linked back to our subscriptions. If we don't have the PDF, it will bring you to a page to request an interlibrary loan of the article.
It doesn't require a user account, does not cache user credentials, and does not sell or share user data.
To install:
- Visit www.LibKeyNomad.com
- Click "Add to Chrome"
- Select Brown from the drop down menu.
