How Lean Library Works

The Library Access browser extension simplifies your access to IIMB library materials when you are searching online. You will have access whether you are at home, abroad, or on campus. Using Library Access means you spend less time searching for research material and more time studying.

After downloading, the extension will notify you when you're on a website that our Library has a subscription for.

The browser extension shows an icon in the bookmarks bar. It works almost like a traffic light and indicates the IIM-B Library access option.
