Having trouble keep up with new publications? Try BrowZine on your phone or your desktop!

BrowZine is like a virtual newsstand for scholarly journals. It is available both as a desk top application and a mobile application. Almost all the scholarly journals subscribed by the University of Iowa Libraries are available in BrowZine.
