BrowZine

By Michael Jones, on 21 September 2015

BrowZine Logo

UCL Library Services has signed up to a new journal browsing service called BrowZine. BrowZine is an app that allows browsing of our journal collection in an easy and intuitive way on mobile devices.

The benefits of BrowZine are a simple entry point to view journal titles, either by title search or by browsing titles by subject category; the ability to create your own bookshelf of regularly read titles; the option to save articles for later offline reading; receive notification of new articles; and options to export content to bibliographic management tools.

BrowZine iPad

The vast majority of our scholarly journal content is available within BrowZine, with an emphasis on current content. Archival access is generally available back to 2005, with ongoing developments to extend this. Initially an app for mobile devices, BrowZine has now been further developed to provide a web version.

The BrowZine app is available for download from the following link: http://thirdiron.com/download-browzine. BrowZine Web will shortly be available via Metalib.

If you require any further information on BrowZine, or assistance in set-up and access, then please contact the E-resources Team: lib-eresource-help@ucl.ac.uk

PubMed SFX linking

By Catherine Sharp, on 1 June 2012

There has been a change to the arrangements for SFX linking in PubMed, to provide search options where full-text is not available, and to ensure that users see up to date, real-time information about full-text availability.

Instead of the UCL filter, you will now see an SFX link at the top right of the abstract screen in every PubMed record.  When you click on the SFX button, you’ll either see a link (or links) to the full text, or a statement that the full text isn’t available.  In the latter case, you can check UCL’s print holdings, and you can also check holdings in other libraries.

This means that there is now no longer an option for a UCL filter.  You can use UCL’s custom URL – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?otool=iukucllib – to access the version of PubMed containing SFX links, or you can use the link to PubMed in the databases list.  Alternatively, you can configure your PubMed preferences to show SFX links.  To do so:

  • clear any UCL filter in your personal MyNCBI account
  • select NCBI Site Preferences at the top right of the MyNCBI screen
  • under PubMed Preferences, click on Outside Tool.
  • click the radio button next to UCL (University College London) – SFX, then Save.

Owing to essential maintenance, MetaLib will be unavailable between 08:00 – 11:00 on Thursday 5th January 2012.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Off-site access to JSTOR

By Catherine Sharp, on 14 March 2011

Users recently encountered problems with off-site access to JSTOR via the “login” link on the JSTOR site.  This has now been rectified, and users should once again be able to log in on JSTOR by choosing UCL as their institution.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Off-site access to JSTOR

By Catherine Sharp, on 26 November 2010

UCL users trying to access JSTOR off-site via the ejournals or databases list may see a message that access has been suspended.  UCL Library Services is in contact with JSTOR support about this problem.  In the meantime, please use one of the following two options for access:

1. Click “login” at the top right of the JSTOR home page.  On the next screen, scroll down to “Access JSTOR through a participating institution”.  Choose United Kingdom and UCL (University College London), as in the screenshot below.  You’ll then be prompted for your UCL username and password, and should be able to log in and access full text.

2. Log in to the Web WTS service. Open up a browser in that service, and go to JSTOR as normal (via the ejournals list, databases list, or directly.)  You should find that you’re able to access full text.
