Using the Nomad browser extension to access eJournal articles

What is Nomad?

Nomad is a browser extension that provides easy access to full text articles that Harper Adams University Library subscribes to, or to an open access version. You can access articles direct via the publishers platform (for example, ScienceDirect, Wiley or Taylor & Francis), or find them on bibliographic services (for example, Web of Science).

The journals listed on the Secure journals page are available in addition to the main selection of journals on HOLLY.
