How does it work?
The Library Access browser extension simplifies the connection to available digital articles and books, wherever and whenever you decide to study. You’ll have access whether you’re studying abroad, in a neighbourhood café, or at home. Using Library Access means you spend less time searching for research material and more time studying. With a few simple steps you’ll have access.
After downloading, the extension will notify you when you’re on a website that your library has a subscription for. Then, it’s just a single click to open the site through the library’s systems and get access to all licensed material on that site.
The browser extension shows a  in the bookmarks bar. It works almost like a traffic light. If the icon is green, then you have access. A grey icon means that access is denied. If the material you’d like to use doesn’t seem accessible, Library Access will automatically check for open access versions of the article.
When searching for eBooks (Amazon, Google Books), the Library Access browser extension searches for the ISBN and informs about possible access, based on University of Twente subscriptions.
