BrowZine: Trial of a new simple way to access the journals you need

The Library is having a trial of BrowZine, which is a new way to access all our full text journal content from a simple interface or by using the app. 

Browzine is a smart, easy-to-use service which enables you to:

• Browse our journal subscriptions to see what titles we hold in your specialty / areas of interest 
• Browse table of contents of our journals and link straight through to the full text of most articles
• Bookmark your favourite journals and receive alerts on your mobile device when new articles are published in that journal

If you need access to information on the go, the Browzine app is available for Android phones and tablets, the Kindle Fire (Amazon) and iOS (Apple) for iPhones and iPads.

There is a brief guide to using BrowZine on our web site.

If you don't want to use an app, you can also access Browzine through any computer.

• NHFT staff can see their content here: https://browzine.com/libraries/1776/
• Northampton General Hospital staff here: https://browzine.com/libraries/1775/

The trial is available until the end of January and we would love to have your feedback.

Please just answer three quick questions to help us understand if we should consider purchasing Browzine  https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VNC3V2J

Web site of the month: Almost a Doctor

Almost a Doctor is a free UK site aimed at medical students, junior doctors and other health professionals to help you (as the site says) "learn about stuff".




The site contains revision notes, flashcards, mind maps as well as  an online medical encyclopaedia which you can browse by category. 

The content of the site is written by both health professionals and students, but it is always reviewed by a doctor before publication to ensure all the content is accurate and of good quality.

Almost a Doctor is a really useful resource and highly recommended.
