What is LibKey Nomad?

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that will show you if the Lipscomb's library has the full-text of an article that you see cited in PubMed, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, or another web page.  It connects article citations you see on the web to Lipscomb's library holdings to see if there is a match.  If Lipscomb's library owns the article, you will get a link to it in the bottom left corner of your browser window that looks like this:

In some cases, the library does not own a copy of the article, but may be able to get it for you through interlibrary loan.  If this is the case, you will see a link like this:

This link will take you to our library's Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request form so that you can request it through interlibrary loan.
