Lean Library key features include:
- Prompts you to log in to access e-resources off campus;
- Finds you articles and ebooks provided by the Libraries at other locations, and Open Access alternatives for e-resources not licensed, or directs you to interlibrary loan if no alternatives are found;
- Displays customized messages from the Libraries related to certain e-resources to keep you informed;
- Seamlessly integrates with popular tools such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Wikipedia.
Lean Library work with all major browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera and Safari), and a mobile app version called Academic Browser is also available for iOS.
