When you have Lean Library installed, if you are off campus immediately the Lean library pop-up appears and tells you that ‘you can access this through your library!’

The extension will search open access databases covering CORE and UNPAYWALL databases and also the Directory of Open Access Books database, using an ISBN – and here we can see the extension directing the user to a full text open access article.

If the item is not found in the Library's holdings, the Extension asks if you would like to order the item through Interlibrary Loan – this will link through to ORU Library's ILL form and populate it with the metadata. All you need to do is enter your contact information and submit!

Lean Library allows our librarians to create custom messages on specific websites to ease your access to our available content.
