3. That’s it! You should now start noticing the green Nomad icons when conducting your research!

LibKey Nomad does not require setting up a personalized account. If you’re working remotely, the Nomad extension guides you to the same authentication step for off-campus access, helping to quickly provide you access to Kalamazoo College subscribed content. The extension does not gather or share user data, store credentials, and is only active on scholarly websites and databases. The full privacy policy is available at ThirdIron.com.

To perform a search, simply enter the article DOI or PMID into the search box. If the article is available in full text, formatting options will be available for either PDF downloads or a direct link to the publisher site. Off-site authentication may be required for access (Please use your K College network username and password). Access to the journal issue may also be available by clicking on the “view article in context” link. If the article is not available in full-text, you will be directed to our requesting options available through Interlibrary Loan.

LibKey.io can also be used to create stable links or performing searches by prepending the LibKey.io syntax. The syntax is fairly simple, for Kalamazoo College the syntax would be: https://libkey.io/1138/[DOI or PMID]. If you wanted to send an article to someone at another institution, simply use: https://libkey.io/[DOI or PMID] and LibKey.io will help them discover the access options available through their affiliated organization.
