TRIAL: BrowZine App

We now have trial access to BrowZine, an app created specifically for tablets (iPads, Android, Kindles, and with Windows devices coming soon) that allows you to browse the Library’s scholarly journal article subscriptions based on subject/discipline or by journal title.  Also included are a number of Open Access journal titles.  Users have options to create personalized collections or bookshelves and be notified when their favorite journal title has a new issue available to read.  It’s an ideal way for researchers, faculty, and graduate students to bring periodical browsing back to their research process and stay abreast of new developments in their field. 

WHAT DOES IT ALLOW YOU TO DO?

• Easily read complete scholarly journals in a format that is optimized for tablet devices
• Create a personal bookshelf of favorite journals
• Be alerted when new editions of journals are published
• Easily save to RefWorks, Zotero, Mendeley, Dropbox and other services
