Browse scholarly e-journals with BrowZine

By
The Library is happy to announce the addition of a new tool called BrowZine that allows you to browse scholarly e-journals available through our library. You can…

  • Search by journal title
  • Browse by subject
  • Create a personal bookshelf of favorite journals
  • Receive alerts when new issues of a journal are available
  • Bookmark articles for reading later
  • Direct students to BrowZine to view the latest in your discipline’s journals
  • Save, organize, and monitor your most-used e-journals on virtual bookshelves.
The tool is available on your desktop and there is an app for iOS and Android so you can synchronize your reading between devices.


How do I get BrowZine?
In order to setup access to BrowZine on your desktop or laptop, visit BrowZine from the Library’s homepage. This will allow you to browse through and read the full-text of many of the Library’s e-journals. If you create a free account, you can select journals to appear on your personal shelves for easy access. Remember, this is not a discovery tool like Search@UW. This is journal browsing tool, not a place to search for articles.
To access on your mobile device simply download the app from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or Amazon App Store.

Where can I get more information about BrowZine?
You can view an introductory video about BrowZine on Vimeo. Additionally, the makers of BrowZine, Third Iron, have a support website where you can get more information about how to use BrowZine.

Who can I contact at the Library to ask questions or give feedback?
Please contact Jennifer Huffman with any questions or feedback you have regarding BrowZine.
