LibKey Nomad (PDF manual) is a browser add-on for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that provides access to articles available through Library subscriptions. Because it is a browser tool, you will know if an article is available before you have to log in. Unlike other add-ons, it does not collect your data as you search and click on titles (Third Iron's Privacy Policy).
When you click on the link to access the full text article and are off campus, you will be prompted to login with your PCOM credentials. If PCOM does not have access to it, you will be redirected to alternative means to retrieve it.
*LibKey Nomad is now installed on all PCOM-owned computers. No extra sign-in is necessary, just look for the green flame icon in your Chrome browser header and begin searching for articles!*
