BrowZine is a high quality, research focused, virtual library that provides easy and intuitive access to a growing collection of scholarly journals. As databases are a collection individual resources, BrowZine is a database of academic journals. Designed to mimic browsing a bookshelf, and with an archive of previous journal editions, there is something for every level of research. 

LibKey Nomad:

LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that connects users directly to library holdings. This is done while searching sites such as PubMed, Journal Publishers, or Wikipedia. If LibKey detects that Edens Library has full text of an article, it will provide users with a small icon, directly linking them to that resource on the Edens Library website.
