Install Libkey Nomad to avoid paywalls and to get fast, one-click access to scholarly articles. Download the LibKey Nomad extension through any of these browsers:

After installation, search for and select “Stanford Medicine-Lane Library”. The following message will display:

Then, when searching the web, look for the LibKey Nomad links to access articles directly.
