LibKey and BrowZine are library discovery tools which we are trialling for a short period. We'd really love for you to give these tools a go! The aim is to make finding articles an easier, more consistent experience. Your feedback is really important to us, so once you've had chance to use these tools please send us your feedback. We're offering a prize draw to win an Amazon voucher for everyone who completes the survey.

BCU Library Search

You'll find LibKey and BrowZine automatically embedded in BCU Library Search. Every time you do a search, you'll see these options appear in many of the search results.

• The "download PDF" button will take you to the article via the LibKey platform. This simplifies the process of signing in and navigating different publisher's websites.
• The "view issue contents" button opens the journal on the BrowZine platform, where you can browse the rest of the contents of the journal.

Browsing BCU Library Journals

You can directly search/browse our entire catalogue of online journals via the BrowZine platform - you'll also find the "view issue contents" option embedded on many of the results within BCU Library Search.

If you prefer browsing via your mobile or tablet, download the app.

Create an account to save journals to your personal bookshelf.

Please note: As this is a trial, you may lose any saved items once the trial ends at the end of the Summer Term.
