With the Library’s subscription to MyLOFT, this service is available to students, faculty, researchers, and university staff as the follows:
– a web version, which is available on this library website;
– mobile app (Android and iOS) (download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and install it on your smartphone or other device);
– browser extensions (Chrome, Edge, Yandex Browser).
MyLOFT’s key features:
- Single sign-on (you don’t need to remember passwords for the various web database platforms the library subscribes to—just log in to MyLOFT);
- Remote access (you can use library resources from home, a café, or on the go, not just from the university network);
- Offline reading (you can save articles and books in the app and read them later without internet access);
- Work tools (you can create collections, add tags, highlight text, and even listen to articles using the Text-to-Speech feature);
- Your single personal account for managing all your searching, saving, reading, and organizing information.
