The Furman University Libraries are now offering a trial to BrowZine, an app for iPads and Android tablets that lets you browse, read, and monitor thousands of scholarly journals.
The app allows users to:
- browse journal titles by subject
- select journals from a “shelf” display
- browse most recent journal issues and access back issues
- read, share, and save individual articles
- create a personal bookshelf of your favorite journals
- receive alerts when new issues of journals are published
