The LibKey Nomad browser extension lets you know if an article (or ebook, in some cases) on a web page you're visiting is available through your library. There's no need to log in to the library first—LibKey Nomad sits in the background and shows you access buttons when an article is available. You'll even see this next to articles with paywalls. There are many places where you'll find these buttons: publisher sites, Wikipedia, PubMed, ResearchGate, and sometimes Amazon. The LibKey Nomad browser extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers. 

The library subscribes to LibKey Nomad and has added it to the Chrome browser on all library computers. Google Chrome Guest and incognito windows won't display the LibKey Nomad button. You'll also need to log in with your Google account on Chrome.
