Lean Library

Your research assistant

Are you often unsure whether digital content is accessible for you via the university library during your research?

With Lean Library, you can use a free browser plugin: 
Lean Library offers an easy way to find resources in our digital library or finding other alternatives. You will be guided directly from the website of your research (includes various providers) to our database information system DBIS, where you will find information on accessing our licenced media.

Lean Library supports you on all Internet pages and also reports additional search results from library catalogues and databases. If you use the plugin, you will have faster and better access to academic digital content.

Please note: Once you watch the video, data will be transmitted to Youtube/Google. For more information, see Google Privacy.
