BrowZine, a tablet application, instantly uploads online journals subscribed to by various university libraries. Then, you can customize it to your interests. By using BrowZine, it’s possible to browse new journal issues in one application, read new articles on your tablet or phone, email in one step, download and save them to your tablet for offline reading, and send them to Refworks , Zotero , or Mendeley. The result is an easy and familiar way to browse, read and monitor scholarly journals across disciplines.
According to Thirdiron, the developer of the application, BrowZine consolidates multiple databases of journals into an intuitive newsstand. It’s very similar to your standard newsstand on Apple and android devices. But, instead of popular magazines, you find scholarly journals, making a visually pleasing search.
If you find it frustrating to keep up with the latest trends, BrowZine will soon provide push notifications. No more using various platforms that send emails to contact you about new research. And just like your other electronic content, libraries provide it via your existing authentication protocols, so there’s no extra setup required for BrowZine to support your authentication.
The BrowZine team consists of library and technology experts who are dedicated to bringing emerging technologies to libraries.
