Keep on top of the literature without endless searching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BrowZine provides a virtual bookshelf of your favouite journals, taking you straight through to the full text. You can access it from a computer or with a mobile app.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is BrowZine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An alternative to search engines, BrowZine <\/a>allows you to easily find, read, and monitor scholarly journals available using Edge Hill’s library subscription. You can add your favourite journals to a personalised bookshelf which automatically updates when new content is avilable. From here, directly check the table of contents or link straight through to the article PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the best way to use it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BrowZine <\/a>isn’t for systematic literature searching. For this, a tool such as Scopus <\/a>would be better. Instead, BrowZine takes you straight to your trusted sources, keeping you up to date without the need for repeated searching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BrowZine’s other major strength is the mobile app. This syncs with the desktop site meaning you can continue reading on the go. Some publishers like EBSCO offer their own apps, restricted to in-house content, but BrowZine spans all publishers including smaller ones who don’t offer such services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I get started?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start using the desktop version<\/a> or download the free app for Apple <\/a>or Google Play<\/a>. After downloading the app, find Edge Hill University in the list and enter your university username and password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
