Lean Library

Implementation

Let’s get started.

We understand it is important to roll out Lean Library quickly as you look to provide off-campus access for patrons during this time. It is possible to almost completely configure Lean Library in under a day.

This document describes what information we need to configure Lean Library in under an hour and have it ready to help your patrons get streamlined off-campus access to resources.

Our implementation consultants will help with every step in the configuration process. The configuration can be adjusted while the service is already running. So, if needed, there’s time for fine-tuning after rolling out.

Library Access Configuration

The parameters needed to configure Library Access depend on your authentication mechanism.

We recommend configuring the assist messages after the roll-out. The assist messages will have to be set up by you. Do not worry though, we will be happy to help you!

Whatever your patrons’ goals are, help them achieve them with Lean Library.
