Browzine

A new way to browse, read and monitor your favourite journals and get faster access to full text

How to install the BrowZine App

Step 1: Download the BrowZine app from the appropriate app store.

 

Step 2: When you open the app, BrowZine will prompt you to choose the library. Type in National Institute of Education and select NIE in the list.

Step 3: Next, type in your NIE Login Account without the domain name. Once you have done so, BrowZine will now be able to authenticate you as an NIE staff or student.

Step 4: You can now start using BrowZine.

Using BrowZine through the App

Step 1: First, click on the BrowZine Library option on the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Then, explore journals by browsing the subject categories or search for the name of the journal. For example, if we were to look at some Art Education journals ( Arts & Humanities > Fine Arts > Art Education , we would be led to this page with a list of available journals.

Step 3: Select a journal e.g. Art Education

Step 4: On this page, you can

  • view past issues,
  • look at articles from the current issues (see Step 5), or
  • view related journals.

The top right corner icon would also allow you to

  • save this journal for future reference*.

*Saved journals would appear under My Bookshelf (icon on the bottom of your screen when you leave this page).

Step 5: If an article has no lock next to it, it is available in full text. Tap the title of an article you are interested in, and the full text will load.

(Note: sometimes, the HTML version will appear first and you can choose to click on the PDF link to view the PDF).

You may have to authenticate yourself with your NIE Login account once per session before the full text will load.

Step 6: On this page, after clicking on the "Share" icon on the top right corner, you can choose to:

  • email the article citation,
  • save the article#,
  • export this to citation management software (e.g Zotero, Mendeley, and Endnote Web), or
  • share with your social contacts what you are reading via Facebook and Twitter.

#Saved articles would appear under My Articles (icon on the bottom of your screen when you leave this page).

 

Note: if you save the article in HTML mode you can only save the citation. You will still need internet access to view the full text for later reading. If you save the article in PDF mode, you can view the PDF for offline reading in My Articles. 

You have to create an account on BrowZine if you want to save journals and articles on your Mobile App. Signing into your account will also sync your bookmarks on all devices, including the desktop.
