Did you know that you can access some of our brilliant Arden Library content via apps, and squeeze in some of your academic reading wherever you go? Take a look at the different apps we have available, to access your reading on the move...
BibliU
You can now access all your key reading on BibliU, Arden’s sector-leading eBook platform. Books on BibliU are free from most eBook restrictions, so you can use the in-built accessibility tools, make annotations and highlight your own copy of every title on the platform. You can also save books to your favourites area, and search within and across the platform to make it easy to locate the books you need.
Watch this demonstration to find out more about how to use BibliU, and its range of amazing tools and features.
If you want to catch up some of your academic reading whilst on the move, a BibliU app is available to install and read books on your phone or tablet, even when offline. There’s a QR code on the bottom of BibliU homepage that will take you directly to your store to download the app, or you can search for the BibliU app on the Google Play Store or Apple iOS Store.
Once you’ve Installed the BibliU app, you’ll then need to log in with your Arden Office 365 credentials to be able to download your eBooks for offline reading. You can follow these instructions here for a step-by-step guide in how to download and access your eBooks offline, and using the features available in offline mode.
BrowZine
BrowZine is Arden's academic journal platform where you can browse and read thousands of scholarly journals. You can browse journals by subject area, build your own personal digital library on the bookshelf and set up alerts to allow you to be the first to find out when a new issue of your favourite journal is published.
You can learn more about BrowZine’s functionality and make the most out of the platform by watching this demonstration of how to find and use academic journals.
As well as being accessible on the web via the Library Portal, BrowZine is also available via an app for iOS, Android and Kindle Fire devices. The mobile version offers the same functionality as the web version, in a visually and mobile responsive format.
To access it from your smartphone or tablet, download the BrowZine app from the appropriate app store, then choose Arden University when prompted to choose your Library. You will also need to log in with your Arden Office 365 credentials to complete the connection.
Data saved in your BrowZine account will automatically synchronise across the different platforms if you access it from multiple devices.
