BrowZine is a service where Journals are presented visually in a browsable and readable format (accessible on any device from any location). Personalization features allow users to add favorite titles to My Bookshelf and save articles to My Articles for reading and referencing later. Libraries are using BrowZine’s linking structures and APIs to get users to content in a single click and enhance / improve journal and article results.
