with Lean Library, via website & proxy

Lean Library

If you want access to e-books, e-journals, all other digital resources and services of the library, from OUTSIDE the UMCG / RUG network, we advise to:

  • use the LeanLibrary extension in your browser to ensure access to the digital library. It triggers the prox-login when needed, redirect you to the correct full-text access, open access alternatives and more.
  • It is always good to start at the CMB library website. All the resources and pages have links that also trigger the proxy-login. (this is a good alternative, when not using the Leanlibrary extension.)
  • You can also login into the proxy-server beforehand.
  • For mobile devices, use the Connect-button (see below)

When do you need to log in?

You will only need to log in if you want to consult the library sources from outside the network.
Please note: 'UMCG Anywhere' and the Next Gen laptops do NOT automatically give access to our digital collection. Using the Lean Library extension will trigger the login for proxy when needed. IF you do not use Lean LIbrary, always start your browsing from the CMB website, ór login the proxy manually beforehand.

How to login with your UMCG account or RUG number?
