LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that facilitates access to the Libraries' full text resources as you find research on the web. LibKey Nomad provides one-click access to full text from websites like PubMed, Wikipedia and publisher pages. Install the plug-in for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or other browsers by going to this LibKey Nomad download page and choosing Carnegie Mellon University as your institution when prompted.
In general, when off campus, if you are accessing library resources via the library homepage, or any CMU Libraries website including this guide, you should be prompted to sign in using your CMU credentials to access full text resources. However, for a few resources or to troubleshoot access when you are off-campus, you may need to connect using the VPN client as described on our Accessing the Library from Off-campus page.
If using the VPN to access the library, make sure you are using the Full VPN.
You can borrow items from other libraries if CMU Libraries does not have what you're looking for. ILLiad is our Interlibrary Loan system.
