Other Subject Guides with relevant resources
Over time I will add particular resources for social care, and legal and ethical matters to this guide. Until then please see:
The Health Subject Guide for social care, social policy and community nursing resources;
The Law Subject Guide for legal and ethical content. One key resource from the law guide is Lexis+.
LibKey Nomad
Get fast access to scholarly articles
LibKey Nomad is a great tool which helps you to easily find scholarly journal articles. When you are searching on the web, Nomad lets you know if any of the content is available from our library subscriptions or open access alternatives.
All you need to do is add an extension to your web browser.
Go to libkeynomad.com, select your browser at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions to add the extension. When prompted, select London Metropolitan University as your organisation.
When searching the web look out for the Nomad button to link you to the article.
Search for journal articles using DOI or PMID using LibKey.io
LibKey.io provides access to journal articles using either the digital object identifier (DOI) or PubMed Identifier (PMID). If the article is available through the Library’s subscriptions or it is Open Access you will be able to access the PDF or the article link.
If you don't know the DOI or PMID you can search for journals and journal articles using Library Search. See Understanding journals - Finding information - LibGuides at London Metropolitan University for more guidance.
