  • “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  • In addition, Nomad will let you know when an article has been retracted and if you click, it will list the reasons why.

LibKey Nomad will also link ebooks the library provides access to! (example below).
