UST Libraries are running a trial of  a new technology called BrowZine, a tablet application that allows you to browse, read and monitor some of the libraries’ best journals.  

Our trial subscription will last until April 15th.  It currently includes over 2,700 UST-owned titles. They are browsable by general subject area. Favorite journals can be saved to your own personal bookshelf to be read just like any other e-journal.  Individual articles can be saved, shared, imported into other apps as PDFs, and more.  

BrowZine is growing fast and will continue to expand, adding new titles and features as time goes on. Work is progressing to include RefWorks integration, as well as content from publishers such as Highwire, Cambridge, APA, and many more.  If a favorite title isn’t available now, it is very possible it might become available in the near future!

To get started:

• From your iPad, click here to download BrowZine from the App Store and install it.

• When opening BrowZine for the first time, a list of libraries will appear.  Select “University of St Thomas,” then enter your UST username and password for access to our content.

• Select the subject areas you are interested in and start browsing!

Again, this trial will only last until April 15th.  Please check it out now, and send any comments or questions to laura.hansen@stthomas.edu while we consider subscribing to this service.  Thank you!
