How can I access articles behind paywalls?

Answer

Lean Library is a browser plug-in that alerts you when articles are available through the USU Libraries' subscription databases. This can help you avoid paywalls and get the information you need without paying out of pocket.

More information, including a link to download Lean Library for your browser, is available in our Lean Library guide.

Linking your A# to Google Scholar is another convenient way to avoid paywalls.

Do not pay for articles you need to complete your assignments while at USU. Contact a librarian for help getting articles at no cost to you.
