Easier Access to Scholarly Articles

When you search for articles it can sometimes be difficult to tell if an article is available through SCU library access, especially if you are outside the library's website.

The SCU Library provides the LibKey Nomad browser extension to give you easy access to scholarly article PDFs, no matter where you are searching.
