Technology from Sage has launched its latest Lean Library feature: One-Click to PDF. This feature allows seamless access to full-text PDFs or HTML equivalents of academic content via a library's discovery layer.  

Previously, Lean Library saved users up to three minutes per search by streamlining authentication and access through its browser extension. The new feature, integrated with GetFTR, speeds up access to scholarly content and drives library resource usage. Users can now benefit from streamlined access even without the browser extension, expanding Lean Library's reach and inclusivity.  

“GetFTR is delighted to partner with Lean Library to further streamline access to academic content,” said Dianne Benham, product director at GetFTR. “By integrating GetFTR’s technology with Lean Library’s user-friendly tools, we are enhancing the research experience and reducing frustrations for libraries and their users alike when accessing full text.”  

“We are thrilled to offer Lean Library users even more streamlined access to content with the GetFTR integration,” said Daniel Horvath, product director at Technology from Sage. “We plan to expand content coverage and add the one-click functionality to our browser extension. This will streamline access for students who start their content discovery outside of the library website and instead prefer sites like Google.” 

Lean Library continues to remove content barriers and drive resource usage. The One-Click to PDF feature is now available for all customers, and further developments are expected later this year.
