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 UCLA.
• 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.
