Lean Library
Lean Library puts the library right into your research workflow. This browser plug-in gives you easy access to UniMelb library e-resources anywhere, anytime without forcing you back to Discovery or the Library website. It also allows the library to give you alternative, legal access to journals that hit a paywall.
Worried about privacy?
By using the Lean Library extension you will remain completely anonymous. The Lean Library browser extension doesn’t collect any personal information unless you actively share it. And it doesn’t collect your IP address or your device’s unique device IDs.
