Library access in a web browser

Access to articles and e-books off campus

With the help of the browser addon LibKey Nomad, you can quickly find out if an article is available in full text when you are sitting off campus. By clicking a button that is shown on relevant web pages, you are taken directly to the full article, full e-book, or other licensed material that the university has access to.

LibKey Nomad from Third Iron is a browser addon that detects when you are using a web site containing materials that Linnaeus University has access to. It is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari etc. LibKey Nomad displays a button with a green droplet in the lower left corner of web pages with articles that the library has a subscription to or that is openly available. Clicking the button will get you directly to the article. If not already logged in, you will have to log in first, using your Lnu account.

To install LibKey Nomad, do the following:

  • Download LibKey Nomad to your browser.
    Follow the instructions and select Linnaeus University in the box to select an organization.
  • Done! Now you will see the button on pages where you have access to the article.
