The University of East Anglia implemented Lean Library to connect students and researchers with library resources wherever they begin their research, improving access to subscribed content, increasing awareness of library services, and supporting users at their point of need.
“With the Lean Library extension, users don’t have to play ‘Hunt the login box’, our institutional login box just pops up when they need to login and be authenticated to access a resource. Users are not being constrained by having to just use our discovery tools for online resources. If they prefer to do a browser search or use Google Scholar, then they can now easily see what access they have as a UEA student or staff member.
Rather than them having to go to the library site, the library site comes to them, wherever they are choosing to start their research.”
