If it worked it would be amazing... but it doesn't. Don't waste your time nor storage space on this extention

The library I work for is in the process of setting this up. It's looking good so far, and I think it will be very useful for students who are not on campus, helping them get access to library resources.

On OSX, randomly causes the whole Chrome window to become a blank screen every hour or so -- impossible to work with it turned on.

A great deal of our patrons do not always use our library discovery system (~ catalogue). The LL extension comes in very handy when they are browsing/Googleing through online publisher content. It offers them seamless proxied access to content they are entitled to via our institution, we can easily provide them with information in Assist messages, and it refers them as much as possible to our discovery system as a reference for precisely knowing our licensed publisher content. Contrary to other reviews, we are not experiencing any timelag due to the extension in our browsers, nor did we get patron complaints concerning this.

A quick note from a librarian. Here at TU Delft, the use of the Lean Library extension has gradually increased from 4,400 to 7,600 unique users per month in the past year, making it one of the most popular extensions. Its use is not entirely undisputed, but in my opinion the advantages (easy off-campus access to online resources) greatly outweigh the disadvantages (speed, html changes).

Lean Library is a handy browser extension to get access to the e-resources licensed by your institution, on every website and from every location. When Lean Library is installed, the extension detects whether you have access to the the content you encounter or not and simplifies the process of getting access to e-resources off-campus. A pop-pup hands you all necessary information where needed. For KU Leuven users, more information on this tool is available at: https://bib.kuleuven.be/english/collections-access-borrowing/access-to-e-resources/lean-library/leanlibrary.

Really useful for accessing my uni library resources when working from home. Super convenient.

Massively simplifies the process of getting access to electronic resources provided by my academic library. I particularly love the ability to unlock open access alternatives when you hit paywalls too.

Very useful for research and finding resources but slowed down my keyboard response on Google Chrome and made using Google Docs and other websites very laggy. Got so frustrating I unfortunately had to disable the extension. Very disappointing. If this issue were to be fixed, I'd redownload it.
