What is Lean Library and How Can I Use It?
Answer
Lean Library is a browser extension that works with the Weizmann Library to identify library-subscribed e-resources from wherever you prefer to search.
When you search Google, Google Scholar, databases, a publisher's site, or almost any existing website and hit a paywall for an article or eBook, the Lean Library extension will look for a subscribed alternative of full-text access.
The Weizmann Library can also send you important access messages via this extension.
