Note: Use some of these features such as syncing or creating a bookshelf requires setting up a free personal account with BrowZine.

Most of the scholarly, academic journals that UW Libraries subscribes to are included with BrowZine. However, content from newspapers, popular magazines, trade journals, and aggregators are not included with collected content.

BrowZine is intended for "browsing" articles in recently published journals. Older issues (pre-2005) are generally not available through BrowZine. To access this content, researchers will need to use the eJournals portal or the library catalog to access the journals.
