About Lean Library Access
Lean Library Access is a browser extension that you can add to your favorite browser. This Library Access browser extension makes it simple to access academic articles, journals and databases licensed by Zuyd Library, wherever you are and whenever you need it.  

How it works
Once downloaded, you'll be alerted via a pop-up message if you are looking for something that Zuyd Library can give you access to, including articles, eBooks, and other subscriptions. If our library can't help, we will also try to direct you to an open access version of what you are looking for if it exists elsewhere.

Only for desk- and laptops
Lean Library Access is not suitable for mobile devices, so it only works on desk- and laptops. The tool is primarily intended to gain access to Zuyd content at home, outside the Zuyd network. Within the Zuyd network, access is usually already arranged, but Library Access can draw attention to 'open access' alternatives to articles that are not accessible via Zuyd.

Which browsers?
You can download the extension for most browsers, e.g. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox and Opera. 
Please note: If you work on a Zuyd desk- or laptop, unfortunately it is not possible to add the add-on to Google Chrome. The Zuyd IT department does not allow adding extensions to the Zuyd version of Chrome.
