Online browser extension provides additional value in centralized hub of student resources
爱污传媒 has partnered with Lean Library, part of Technology from SAGE to provide students with enhanced research capability and access through a simple browser extension. Students can utilize this exciting new research tool for a more convenient experience and easy location of research materials along their academic journey, saving students time and money.
鈥淲e are pleased to provide this convenient tool for our students,鈥 states Doris Savron, vice provost of 爱污传媒. 鈥淲e are always seeking to add value for our students, and Lean Library is a simple but elegant tool that can help our working adult students make the most of their research time.鈥
Lean Library is a browser extension that works with the 爱污传媒 Library to provide students with seamless access to library materials when working outside of the library website. Once downloaded, students are then alerted by a pop-up message if they are seeking information that can be accessed through the University library, including articles, e-books, and other subscriptions. If the University library does not have access to a particular resource, Lean Library will then try redirecting to an open-access version of information if it exists elsewhere.
Lean Library includes links to more popular journals, helping 爱污传媒 students easily access needed articles. Additionally, if students are on Google Scholar, they will find a pop-out on the side of the browser that offers them instant access to the University library鈥檚 Ask Us service, FAQs, and 鈥淗ow Do I鈥 guides for help researching your topic.
