Puts library guidance directly into patron workflows
Libraries spend hundreds of hours creating and maintaining support materials – but making patrons aware of what’s available can be an uphill struggle and result in low usage. Lean Library delivers these materials on any academic resource or website online so your patrons can view your LibGuides or instruction materials at their point.
-
Unlocks free content for patrons
Lean Library also integrates with Unpaywall, the OAPEN Foundation and other Open Access repositories to redirect patrons to over 30M articles and 75k eBooks when they hit paywalls – saving libraries and patrons an estimated $40k every year.
-
Brings the library discovery service to patrons’ preferred search tools
Your library’s discovery service is one of the most valuable tools you can offer your patrons but only 6% of patron searches start there, while 40% start on Google. Lean Library showcases the power of your discovery service via the extension pop-up sites like Google and Google Scholar, so patrons can search your library holdings from Google and beyond.
