Full text access

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension. It enables instant access to PDFs, or other Library links for resources from hundreds of scholarly sites, including:

• Wikipedia
• PubMed
• Google Scholar.

It helps you avoid paywalls.

As you browse scholarly sites it automatically displays buttons for Bond Library subscriptions and services for:

• PDF downloads
• Links to journal table of contents
• Article links to read online (web page)
• Access options to request a copy
• Manuscript links or pdfs
• Links to ebooks

This browser extension is installed for Edge, Firefox and Chrome on Bond University computers. The Library's licence includes use on your personal computers.

Download LibKey Nomad

After installation, open the extension and choose Bond University from the list of institutions.

Tools such as Endnote and other reference managers can be configured to locate via Library Search, full text from citation data. The details you may need to configure are:

• Base URL: https://librarysearch.bond.edu.au/openurl/61BOND_INST/61BOND_INST:BOND?

In some of our subscription databases you will see a link or button - Find It @Bond. This will be useful when full text is not available directly in the interface. It takes the resource details and checks Library Search for availability. If it is not available in full text, you will get the option to request the resource.

You can turn on this feature in Google Scholar by setting up your library links.

1. Go to Google Scholar
2. Open the settings
3. Select Library Links
4. Search for 'Bond Library'
5. Tick 'Bond University Library - Find It @Bond'
6. Click Save
