LibKey Nomad and Google Scholar

When you use Google Scholar with the Nomad extension installed and set up for your library, Nomad will automatically let Google Scholar know which institution you belong to. This makes your library’s links appear in your search results.

This will happen if you are signed into your Google account and have manually set up Google Scholar to use your library’s links. To set up Google Scholar to use TRU Library's links, refer to our Google Scholar guide. Set up is quick and easy.
