Lean Library
If you study or work at Windesheim, you have free access to a world of information that is normally hidden behind paywalls. However, when you're browsing the internet, you might not always remember this. The Lean Library browser extension helps you easily access this information.
For example, if you're searching for a book on amazon, you’ll get a notification if the library has it in its (digital) collection. You can click through directly from the popup to the book.
If you find a scholarly article in a journal we subscribe to, Lean Library ensures you are logged in so you can read the article. You can click through directly from the popup to the article.
Below you can see it in action: normally, you would need a subscription to the journal Science for this article, but Lean Library points out that the article is freely accessible elsewhere.
Finding an e-book with Lean Library
Imagine you’re searching for a book at an online store or scrolling past a book reference on a website. If the library has the book in its digital collection, Lean Library will notify you. You can then click through directly to the e-book.
Access websites and databases with Lean Library
Through the library, you often have access to surprising resources, such as (almost) all of Van Dale's online dictionaries. Lean Library alerts you and helps you log in correctly.
