LibKey Nomad is a browser extension installed on all Milner Library computers. You can also install it on your personal computer for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge (scroll down to bottom of page for download options). While it doesn’t replace the library’s catalog, LibKey Nomad can provide quick access to articles found via Google or other websites, using the library’s subscriptions.
LibKey Io is a search tool available on the Interlibrary Loan page and the Citing Sources guide DOIs page. Enter the DOI of an article to bring up Milner Library options for accessing the article.
Let's say you are looking for articles about music therapy treatments for anxiety. Here is an example of how you could search for anxiety and music therapy in CINAHL:
The information in the middle tells you more about the article, including:
The right side of the article page has some helpful tools including:
At the top of the article page, there are options for accessing the article through Milner Library on the left. These may be hidden on mobile devices so you will need to choose the tiny double arrow tab to reveal them.
If there is full text through the database you are searching, there will be PDF Full Text and download PDF links.
If there are no full text links in an EBSCO database like CINAHL, choose the Access options dropdown and select the Full text via LibKey Link option to see if it is available through any other Milner databases.
If LibKey finds full text access through another Milner database or other subscription resource, it will show a LibKey page with options to download the PDF and access the article page in the subscription resource that has it.
If LibKey can't find full text access through Milner, it will instead provide a Find It page for the item.The Find It page will may sometimes have other online access links or a listing of Mlner's print volumes of the journal the article is in. If there isn't online or print access in Find It, choose Sign in in the yellow box that says "Please sign in to check for any request options."
When you choose Sign In next to it and login with your ULID and password, it should give you a link to request the article via interlibrary loan (ILL).
Interlibrary Loan allows you to send a request for an article to our Interlibrary Loan staff. If they can find a copy of the article, you will get a PDF of it in your ILL account. This may take 5-7 days but articles often come much sooner.
