There are a couple of great Apps available to read your preferred Journals, scan them and keep up to date on your tablet.
The CMB UMCG want to test a few of them more thoroughly in the next weeks.
Flipboard-like (Medical)
- Docwise & Read (by QxMD) personalized "Flipboard" for medical journals, news and topics.
Both these Apps have Settings for our library's proxy off-campus access.
Start Pages-like (Medical)
- Docphin (unfortunately they are not responding to my requests to include our outside-US Institution, we can't test it. Update: They are willing to activate my institution, details sent, now we have to wait!)
- review Docphine
- BrowZine (We are talking to them for a possible trial. This is the only App with a license-fee plan)
- Finally reading Tables of Contents in a useful way?
- review BrowZine

What do you think?
