Lean Library Workspace (formerly Sciwheel): More Resources for Learning Lean Library Workspace

Sciwheel has rebranded to Lean Library Workspace (LL Workspace). The Lean Library Extension has replaced the Sciwheel Browser Extension, and the Sciwheel Browser Extension doesn't work anymore.

All users should install and learn to use the new Lean Library extension right away.

Users will also need to update their Microsoft Word add-in and Google Docs add-on.

New feature: Reference Manager Only Extension Mode

Lean Library Extension has a new feature that lets you turn off popups and integrations! The Reference Manager Only Extension Mode works more like the old Sciwheel extension. Follow our instructions for how to change your Extension Mode.
