How to use Browzine  https://libguides.utk.edu/BrowZine/Home

The date of your board exam matters. Please read and plan accordingly:

If the exam date is within 6 months after leaving UT:

• You WILL have access to both Browzine and UT Libraries electronic collections.
• Your NETID and Password authenticates access for six months after leaving UT.

If the exam date is more than 6 months after leaving UT:

• Continue to use Browzine to manage personal collections of articles after leaving UT with no limits.
• Before access is cut off at the 6 month mark, be sure to download articles or chapters needed to study for the exam.
• After six months your NETID and password will not authenticate.
• If additional access to UT collections is needed for board study, please contact your UTCVM mentor and ask if they would sponsor you to get a temporary NetID and password.

Background:  the University Libraries negotiate with publishers to allow everyone access for 6 months past leaving UTK.  UT Libraries continue negotiating for this access on behalf of the UT community, it is part of the value UT Librarians add to the electronic access licensing process.

It is not within the libraries' budget to offer access past the 6 months post-graduation/leaving UT at this time. The University Libraries can't afford what publishers would charge.  We know this because we value access and have asked for quotes to provide it.

The University Libraries support open science, open publishing, and open educational resources, and partner with students, faculty, and administration to reduce barriers to public access to research and educational materials.  People and departments primarily involved with this work are subject librarians and the Scholars' Collaborative.
