Lean Library is a browser extension (add-on) designed to enhance your searching experience.

Think of the UHI Library extension as your personal library assistant ready to help you find the resources you need for your studies and easily access academic resources, whether you're on campus or studying from home.

With the extension you'll get a quick access to material available through the UHI Library subscriptions, including articles, eBooks, newspapers and databases. You can simultaneously search the Library's catalogue and the JSTOR database when using Google Scholar and get quick access to UHI Library support via LiveChat, FAQs and LibGuides - all in one place.
