Library Access
Library Access is a browser extension for Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Microsoft Edge that makes it easier to access electronic resource content courtesy of The University of Manchester Library.
When you are off-campus, you can use the extension to read electronic journal articles, e-books, reviews and other online material provided by the Library without having to visit the Library website first.
"Thanks to your tweet at the end of last week, I have installed the browser extension for seamless access to the UoM Library. Very useful!" - Professor Francoise Tissuer, School of Mathematics
"I wanted to say how much easier life has been when doing research with the roll out of the Library Access plug-in for web browsers" - Postgraduate, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
