The University Library has invested in a trio of new products to improve access to eJournals both on and off campus: Browzine, LibKey Nomad and LibKey.io.
BrowZine provides a new way to view the journals available from the Library, while the Libkey products improve access to the full-text of articles.
We recommend you download the Libkey Nomad browser extension to get easier access to the pdfs and full-text of journal articles that the Library has paid for.
Optimise the way you discover and interact with your key journals
BrowZine is a web app that gives you improved access to the thousands of scholarly eJournals subscribed to by the University of Bristol, plus a large range of open access journals.
With all of the information being produced in scholarly journals and acquired by libraries it can be a challenge to present this fountain of knowledge in a way that informs and inspires.
BrowZine is a service that compliments the powerful search tools offered by the Library with an equally powerful browsing experience that presents the contents of thousands of academic journals in an exciting and easy to use new way. BrowZine is a discovery tool that visually displays Library journals in a three tier taxonomy organised by area of study.
