LibKey Nomad for full text retrieval
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that connects our journal subscriptions to article PDFs, both our subscriptions or open access options. It integrates to our databases and takes you to the document (if we have it) or the interlibrary loan link (if we don't).
It also does a great job of flagging article retractions.
Download the extension* to your preferred browser. Select University of Illinois Chicago as your institution. Make sure the Extension is turned on in your browser and you're ready to go (browser restart may be required).
*UIC doesn't allow extensions in your Chrome/Google account. Use your personal account.
