We are delighted to introduce two new tools designed to streamline access to the Library’s subscribed journal content.
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that checks for subscribed and Open Access content on specific scholarly sites while you browse the web, providing one-click access to full-text PDF articles on sites like PubMed, Scopus, and Wikipedia. It includes a citation export feature, allowing you to save citations to Mendeley, Zotero, and other reference management tools.
LibKey Nomad also flags articles that have been retracted, are subject to expressions of concern, or where other sources cited within the article have been retracted, alerting you to potential issues and helping you to select sources with confidence.
You can download the extension for your preferred browser via the .
provides access to our collection of online journals in a modern and intuitive interface. You can browse by subject, and drill down through titles, volumes, and issues. Like LibKey, BrowZine supports one-click article access and citation export.
By signing into BrowZine, you can save your favourite journals to your own virtual ‘bookshelves’. You can also choose to receive email alerts when new articles are published, helping you to keep track of new research in your field.
The BrowZine app brings these features to your mobile device. To get started, search for ‘BrowZine’ in your preferred app store.
