Which browser extensions can help me download journal articles?
Last Updated: Mar 24, 2025     Views: 27

The Library subscribes to two 'Browser Extensions'. This is software you can install on your web browser, which will assist you in downloading journal articles, requesting interlibrary loans, referencing and much more! While on campus these browser extensions only occasionally activate, but when off campus they will become more active, showing you the best links for full-text articles and library resources.

 

You can install these on personal and university-managed computers. You should however use only one, so try both and choose your preferred extension

 

 

EndNote Click is a plugin that assists researchers in accessing subscription journals, even when off campus. It also integrates into the library Endnote subscription to support referencing and collection of papers within the browser.

 

When papers are unavailable within the library subscriptions, it provides a link to request an Rapid Interlibrary Loan.

 

 

 

 

With the Lean Library extension, you can unlock access instantly and legally to millions of academic papers, streamline access to your library content whenever and wherever you might need within systems and web pages you use the most like Google Scholar, PubMed and thousand more!

 

It also highlights library resources, and provides links to library support services. If journal articles are unavailable with the library subscription the extension 'pops up' a link to request the article via Rapid interlibrary Loan.
