BrowZine, a powerful electronic journals service designed to transform how our students and staff discover, read, and stay current with the latest scholarly journals. The Library is thrilled to introduce BrowZine, a powerful electronic journals service designed to transform how students and staff discover, read, and stay current with the latest scholarly journals. Think of BrowZine as a personalised, virtual newsstand for academic content, accessible anytime, anywhere. BrowZine sits alongside the Library’s Electronic Journals site and offers an alternative way to browse and discover e-journals. BrowZine offers a seamless and intuitive experience, bringing thousands of subscribed e-journals directly to your fingertips. This innovative platform can be an indispensable tool for researchers, students, and faculty across all disciplines at Ulster University.

BrowZine is available from the Library Databases page and across the Library websites. Alternatively, download the BrowZine app from your device's app store (iOS , Android or Amazon) and select Ulster University from the list of institutions. Please note, a separate personal registration for a BrowZine account is required for personalisation such as 'My Bookshelf' and 'My Articles'. Journals (also known as magazines, serials or periodicals) are published regularly (weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually) and contain the most recent information on a subject. The Library subscribes to a wide range of journals in both print and electronic format. Sadler, C.

Journal of Eating Disorders,10(27). Available at: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40337-022-00553-6 [Accessed 5 May 2022]. There are now two ways of searching and viewing our electronic journals collection: Search via Electronic Journals A-Z link on the Library Home page for the title of the journal you need. Details about the Library's journal collection, including print journals, electronic journals and the UFindit service. Sometimes called serials, magazines or periodicals, journals are anything published regularly such as Nature or Harvard Law Review that contain articles on current research.

This information is not likely to be found in books and this is why journal articles are important in finding supporting evidence for assignments. Also, because journals are published at regular intervals, e.g. weekly, monthly or quarterly, the information they contain is much more current at the time of publication. Books, on the other hand, can sometimes take up to two or three years to be published. The Library has both electronic and print journals. We keep thousands of journals in original paper format on our shelves in each Library.

To check our Print Journal collection, use the Journals option on the Library Catalogue to search for the journal by its title. The Library also has a significant collection of full-text electronic journals (e-journals) which can be accessed via PC, or smart device, and most of them are available off-campus. The Electronic journals service provides an A-Z list ot e-journal titles, with coverage details and be searched by Journal title, ISSN or Publisher. There is a very limited Article search but it is not a replacement for searching the Library's Electronic Databases. There are also links to e-journal titles from within the Library Catalogue and directly full-text e-journals, where appropriate, within the Reading List Catalogue. When you have installed the BrowZine app, and have logged in to the service using your UL network ID (firstname.lastname for staff, UL Student ID number for students) go to settings in the app...

After setting up a personal account you may be prompted to login with your UL Student / Staff ID and password. By creating a BrowZine personal account you can use the following features: To browse journals, select "BrowZine Library" in the bottom menu of the app. When you are viewing a PDF within BrowZine, use the export button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to view options for saving and sharing. After clicking the export button, you will be presented with a menu of options. [Note that the menu differs slightly between iOS and Android devices.]

In the screenshots below, iOS is on the left and Android is on the right. View the range of electronic resources offered by Library Services. USearch, the Library's discovery service, offers a Google-like search across many of the Library's databases and e-resources. Lists Library databases & e-resources available to support teaching, learning & research. Access details, descriptions, passwords, user guides & more are available here. Use the Journal Finder page to search the Library's electronic journal collection.

Search for a particular journal title or browse alphabetically or by discipline. There are 25,000+ eBook titles on the Library Catalogue and the collection is continually being added to. Journals (also known as periodicals, serials or magazines) are published on a regular basis, for example, daily (newspapers), weekly, monthly, quarterly or perhaps annually. As journal articles can be produced more quickly than the time it takes to publish an entire book, they are more up-to-date than books. Journal articles enable you to keep abreast of current issues and trends in your subject area. Every journal is made up of several elements.

Each publication year has a volume number and within every volume, there are multiple parts/issues - how many will depend on how frequently it is published. Each part/issue contains a number of individual articles. The Library provides access to print and electronic journals. Note that printed journals cannot be borrowed from the library though you may photocopy articles for personal research purposes (within current copyright regulations). If the Library holds a journal in print format, the complete year's issues may subsequently be bound together within hardback covers. If not, the loose issues will be stored (in issue number order) in a pamphlet box on the Journals shelves.

Having completed your search in USearch or one of our databases, what do you do if you can't access the article? BrowZine creates the online equivalent experience of browsing a newsstand and reading a print journal. BrowZine consolidates thousands of peer-reviewed journals that the University subscribes to and delivers them to your phone, tablet or computer. The BrowZine service is brought to you by the library and is free for all UL students, faculty, researchers and staff to install and use. Let us know what you think of it and if you need any help getting started. To use BrowZine via your browser, visit the Library's BrowZine site.
