Lean Library

29.10.2025 – Lean Library – browser extension for easy access to e-resources

Try the new Lean Library browser extension that helps you access licensed electronic information resources (EIZ) of Charles University. The extension automatically detects if the university has access to a requested article or e-book and offers login through EZproxy or another available route. It can also point you to legal open-access versions or printed copies available at CU libraries.

Lean Library works both on and off campus, for example when searching via Google Scholar or directly on publishers’ websites.

Available for browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari.
