The Grinnell College Libraries has subscribed to a new service to improve your search experience for scholarly journal articles that has a new feature that links ebooks.

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension to get fast access to scholarly academic articles and is available in 6 different browsers.

  • “Download PDF” will take you directly to a PDF of the article.
  • “Article Link” will take you to a webpage of the article.
  • In addition, Nomad will let you know when an article has been retracted and if you click, it will list the reasons why.

Plus! LibKey Nomad has a new feature where it also links ebooks (example below).
