Whether you\u2019re on or off-campus, Lean Library Access connects you directly to materials the library has access to. Spend less time searching for sources and more time doing your work. Install the extension, select your institution, and you\u2019re ready to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>How does it work? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Lean Library Access extension identifies when you are on an academic website that contains material licensed by RRU Library and notifies you with a pop-up. (Prefer to skip the pop-ups? You can change your settings to automate your access.) A single click opens the site; log in with your RRU username and password for access. If RRU doesn\u2019t seem to have access to the item you\u2019re looking at, the Lean Library Access extension will automatically check for open access versions or redirect you to our Interlibrary Loan Request Form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Rev_FQdjSV0&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><b>Watch this animation <\/b><\/a>to see how it works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Ready to get started? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leanlibrary.com\/download\/\"><b>the Lean Library Access download page <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Install the extension (please ensure you have the latest version of your browser installed)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Select Royal Roads University (your institution)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Leave \u201cskip the pop-up and automate my access\u201d unchecked to retain control over when to use the library&#8217;s proxy\u2014or check it to be automatically redirected when proxy access is available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">5. <\/span>Start searching for articles and journals and enjoy quick and simple access to all our licensed resources!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Log in with your RRU username and password when prompted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>What about privacy? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">You will remain completely anonymous.
