LibKey Nomad is the browser extension for a successful literature research outside the library.

It detects whether an article is provided by the MCI library when visiting pages of academic publishers and platforms like Scopus, Google Scholar, or Wikipedia. Additionally, it checks if an open access or other freely available version exists. When a match is found, a button allows direct access to the PDF or HTML version.

LibKey Nomad is available for all browsers and can be downloaded here.

In addition to its own library services, the MCI has signed an exemplary cooperation agreement with the University and State Library of Tyrol (ULB) which provides MCI’s students, researchers, and lecturers with full access to the university library facilities.
