Lean Library helps me a lot in finding articles. Today I was referred to a free alternative when I encountered a technical error on the publisher's website. Often Lean Library surprises me with news of an eBook in my library that I didn't know about yet. |

Massively simplifies the process of getting access to electronic resources provided by my academic library. I particularly love the ability to unlock open access alternatives when you hit paywalls too. |

Very useful for research and finding resources but slowed down my keyboard response on Google Chrome and made using Google Docs and other websites very laggy. Got so frustrating I unfortunately had to disable the extension. Very disappointing. If this issue were to be fixed, I'd redownload it. |

Slows down my browser when installed, so eventually uninstalled it. The extension kept taking me to my University page so that I can't browse on the publisher pages that I want to. Kept popping up with suggestions?? that I don't need. Avoid! |

As a librarian, I've used LEAN for around 3 years now. During the past eighteen months, it has saved me a huge amount of time while working from home. Granted, I will be spending more time on retrieving articles than most but I am yet to find a downside to this tool - I recommend it to all my students and the feedback is generally great. I work on a relatively high-spec machine but also run with a huge number of tabs / programs open and haven't noticed performance issues mentioned by others. Do sometimes find the pop-ups a bit slow though (i.e. the webpage has loaded but the pop-up takes a few more seconds). |

I need the extension for Uni, but it makes chrome extermely laggy and unresponsive. And that is on a high spec computer. I have to uninstall the extension everytime I finished using it, in order to use chrome comfortably. |
