Online access

You can access our digital collection in various ways.

Our advice: add Lean Library to your browser!

What is Lean Library?

Perhaps recognizable to many colleagues: you search for an article or ebook, for example with Google, but you do not have access to the full text. Lean Library, a small program (extension) that can be added to your browser, gives you easy and direct access to the PDF with a simple click on the pop-up screen.
Using the Lean Library extension will trigger the login for proxy when needed.

Good to know: Lean Library is already included as standard in Edge at UMCG Anywhere.

When is Lean Library especially useful?

Use Lean Library or login to the proxy server beforehand (see below) if you want to access library resources while you work:

• from outside the network / home (personal computer, smartphone or tablet)
• on a 'NextGen' laptop or UMCG MacBook

No Lean Library? Start on the library website!

If you do not use Lean LIbrary, always start your search from the library website. Search and select the e-journal, e-book or database you want to consult. All links on our website and the library guides activate a login screen (but only if necessary), after which you go directly to the article or e-book.

When you are working outside the campus, you can also log in to the proxy server before you start searching.
