Lean Library: Accessing Cambridge E-resources from anywhere!

The Marshall Librarian recommends that you set up the Lean Library browser extension. This is a way of accessing e-resources that are available through Cambridge quickly and efficiently. You don't even need to have your VPN working for this!

Lean Library is a browser extension that delivers an article to you regardless of where you are linking from. It does not matter where you started searching: Google, Google Scholar, Bing, PubMed, JSTOR or iDiscover etc. If you download the browser extension Lean will automatically detect when you are on a website and there is access via a Cambridge University Library subscription. Where Cambridge does not have subscription access Lean Library will automatically redirect you to an Open Access version of the article if it is available.
