LibKey Nomad

Nomad is a browser extension that helps link sources on the web to DeWitt Library's resources.  Once you install the extension, you'll notice one-click access to PDF articles when available; when not, Nomad should help initiate the interlibrary loan process.  This can be so helpful when you're gathering numerous articles for a large research project!

Nomad LogoComputers in the Learning Commons have the extension already installed. However, you may wish to install it on your home and/or work computers.

  1. Download the extension for your preferred browser
  2. When prompted, select Northwestern College / DeWitt Library from the dropdown list of organizations.
