If you already use the LibKey Nomad browser extension, you know how easy it makes it to access the Library’s full-text content, even when you start your research on the open web – at PubMed.gov, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, or publisher websites – instead of going through the HSHSL website. Now, for a limited time, the HSHSL will be running a trial of LibKey Nomad++, a new, enhanced version of the add-on. Whether you’re new to LibKey Nomad or a current user, we value your feedback as we evaluate whether it is worthwhile for our users to invest in the LibKey Nomad++ upgrade. The trial will run from Oct. 16 through Nov. 27.

The new features include citation exporting, links to the HSHSL’s licensed content for subscription sites like the New York Times or the Atlantic Monthly, informational prompts about access to related content, and integrated library chat assistance.

If you already use LibKey Nomad, there’s nothing you need to do; the new features will go live when the trial begins on Oct. 16. If you are new to the tool, you can download LibKey Nomad to start using it right away. LibKey Nomad works with a number of browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Please complete our brief feedback survey to help us make an informed decision about the tool.

If you have questions about the tool or the trial, let us know at hshsl@umaryland.edu.
