Ask a Librarian

The library staff is here to help you find any book, article or material that you need to succeed with your papers and projects.

Google Scholar

Two methods for linking Healey Library and Google Scholar. Add the browser extension Lean Library or set up Google Scholar library links.

1. Lean Library - Download the browser

Lean Library is a browser extension that provides quick and simple access to Library-subscribed full-text content. When you’re on a website that contains library-subscribed content, the browser extension will notify you that library access exists and provide you with the Get Access button to prompt you to authenticate with your UMass Boston login. If we do not have full-text access, then the extension will provide a link to InterLibrary Loan.

2. Set up Google Scholar Library Links to access full text articles through Healey Library.
