I wanted to say how much easier life has been when doing research with the roll out of the Library Access plug-in for web browsers.
Also wanted to say thank you so much for the head’s up about [Lean Library] for off-campus browsing – it’s changed my life!
Lean Library has massively simplified the process of getting access to library licensed e-resources off-campus for users who bypass our discovery tool and go straight to vendor websites, or who find content in search engines. The number of active users has surpassed our expectations and is growing month-by-month.
I love this extension. It improves my search for articles a thousand times. You have taken away a most hated hurdle in my life.
Lean Library is more important than ever now that all students are online and may or may not be online in the fall.
