Lean Library is a free browser extension available to all current Mizzou students, faculty and staff. Whether starting your research on Google Scholar, a publisher’s site, or anywhere else online, Lean Library helps you seamlessly connect to library resources when you’re off campus or not on Tiger WiFi.
Here’s how it works:
- Automatically checks if Mizzou Libraries has access to the article or book you’re viewing.
- Provides direct links to full-text content when available.
- Prompts you to log in using MU’s Single Sign-On (SSO)—just like email or Canvas.
