LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that allows you to authenticate and download PDFs wherever our full text access is detected. The LibKey button appears in PubMed, on publisher websites, and even in Wikipedia references, as well as in some of our subscription databases. "Download PDF" or "Article Link" provides one-click full text access; "Access Options" helps you place an interlibrary loan request via ILLiad.
PubMed's publisher-provided links will often bring you to full text. However, if you are off campus and/or are prompted to pay for an article, make sure to use Brown's custom link (accessed through any library page) to ensure you'll see all the options for our subscriptions and interlibrary loan services. You can also bookmark it:

When you are viewing the abstract of an article, click the "Find It" button to connect back to our full text (if we have it), or be prompted to submit an ILL request (if we don't have it).
