How to adjust the Library Access browser plugin?
Lean Library now offers more possibilities to finetune the pop-up messages you want to see. You can also make the messages more accessible by enlarging the font size.
Step 1: Install the Lean Library extension
Download and install the Lean Library browser extension if you haven't done it yet.
Step 2: Open Lean Library
Click on the icon of the Lean Library plugin in your browser.
Step 3: Open the settings of the browser plugin
Click on Settings on the top right.
Step 4: Adjust the font size
On the top right corner you can adjust the font size. You can skip this step and go to step 5 if you don’t want to change the font size.
Step 5: Finetune what pop-ups you want to see
If you want to adjust when and where you see the messages / pop-ups of the Lean Library plugin, go to Advanced settings just above the Save button.
Step 6: Decide what pop-up message to show
On the right you can decide when you want to be alerted to an alternative location for a full text of the citation. If you uncheck a message, you will no longer be notified.
If you don’t want a generic setting, you can also check the checkbox under Pop-up Preferences. Once you’ve done that, every pop-up will come with a “Don’t show me” option that you can activate at anytime.
If you want to receive previously hidden notifications, go back to the advanced settings. There you’ll find a table with the messages you’ve hidden. Click on the x to activate the message.
