Benefits of BrowZine

Why use BrowZine?

  • Keep up to date on current research in your discipline without having to carry around paper journals or track publications individually online.
  • Get an overview of current research available in the journal format including articles you might miss using a focused online search.
  • Enjoy the freedom of access to scholarly journals on a mobile device.

When to use other resources

  • When you want to do in depth research.  The BrowZine interface only displays recent issues of journals and it does not include a function for searching within or across journals.
  • When an online scholarly journal is not yet accessible via BrowZine. BrowZine currently has agreements with a wide range of scholarly publishers but not necessarily all that provide journals available online at UC Berkeley.
  • When you want to do light reading. BrowZine only includes scholarly journals and not popular magazines or newspapers.
  • When a journal is not yet available in an online format.  Many disciplines have publications that are only available in print.

Devices BrowZine can currently be used on

Currently supported:

  • Web browsers
  • iPad and iPad Mini running iOS 7.x or later
  • Android tablets running Android 4.0 or higher including Google Nexus 7 or 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab
  • Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD
  • iPhones as of January 2014
