Physical Therapy: Searching the Literature

A browser extension that gives you fast, one-click access to scholarly articles.

LibKey Nomad

• automatically provides instant links to articles from journals subscribed to by your library – and Open Access sources – connecting you to literature discovered on the web.
• works with your library to determine the fastest path to content across thousands of publishers and millions of articles.
• adds support to PubMed, Wikipedia and hundreds of other scholarly publisher websites and research databases.

Note: LibKey Nomad works for items with a DOI or PMID. 

Add the browser extension that links to full-text at Briscoe Library when you search the web.

After downloading the extension, use these instructions to set up:

1. Click the button above. From the Third iron website, click on your favorite browsers.
2. Click on the “Add to” button inside the browser window, and follow the pop-ups to finish the installation.
3. A box will ask you to choose your institution.
4. Under “Select Institution”, type in UT Health and click on “UT Health San Antonio” from the suggestions.
5. You will see a green box that says “Library Selection Saved!” That’s it.

Note: You will have to install LibKey Nomad separately for all browsers you wish to use it on.

The HSCLink in PubMed will take you to the article through the UT Health San Antonio Libraries, and should let you access the full text.
