BrowZine brings together e-journals from multiple publishers and platforms, and presents them in an easily browsable format.

It allows you to browse current and back issues of most, but not all, of our journal titles, and with the app, you can add favourite titles to your "Bookshelf" and save articles for future reading.

BrowZine is not for in-depth research or searching. To carry out in-depth research please use the databases recommended by your librarian.
