Access (including off-campus)

You can access our digital collection in various ways.

1. With Lean Library

Perhaps recognizable to many colleagues: you search for an article or ebook, for example with Google, but you do not have access to the full text. Lean Library, a small program (extension) that can be added to your browser, gives you easy and direct access to the PDF with a simple click on the pop-up screen.
Using the Lean Library extension will trigger the login for proxy when needed.
Good to know: Lean Library is already included as standard in Edge at UMCG Anywhere.

2. Via de library website

Start at the website

IF you do not use Lean LIbrary, always start your browsing from the CMB website. All the links at the website will trigger the proxy-login when needed!
You will need to use Lean Library or to login, if you want to consult the library resources from the following location/deviceslog in :

• from outside the network/home (personal computer, smartphone or tablet)
• on a 'NetGen"laptop or UMCG MacBook

3. When to login on the proxy server?
