Life Sciences and IBERS: Finding full text resources: using the browser extension LibKey Nomad

Finding full text resources: using the browser extension LibKey Nomad

LibKey Nomad is browser extension that automatically provides links to full-text content of journal articles from our Library subscriptions or open access alternatives as you undertake research.
LibKey Nomad searches our Library holdings and open access data to source the best version of the article while you are searching the web and come across literature.

Download LibKey Nomad here

Using LibKey Nomad is simple:

  • Visit the download page and add the extension to your browser of choice
  • After installation, you will be prompted to select your institution. Select Aberystwyth University 

Once the extension is installed, whenever you come across a journal article outside of the library catalogue, LibKey Nomad will inform you if the article is available through the library's subscriptions, or if there is an open access copy available through a banner alert at the bottom of the page.

Download LibKey Nomad here

When you land on a page with an article that is available to download, a LibKey Nomad banner will appear at the bottom of your screen. Click to download the PDF. If you are off-campus, you will need to log-in via VPN first.


If you are using the academic databases PubMed and Scopus, LibKey provides additional functionality. On the search results page you can see links to article PDFs and links to view all the articles in a journal issue through BrowZine.
