Setting up BrowZine™ on your iOS or Android Device with the BrowZine Pairing Service
BrowZine allows you to use your iOS or Android device for seamless, convenient and fast browsing and current awareness of scholarly literature. Your institution utilizes the BrowZine Pairing Service to enable off-‐campus access from these devices. To learn how to setup BrowZine Pairing Service, please follow the instructions below.
If you would rather watch a video of this process, you can find it here: thirdiron.com/pairing
Step 1 Download the App from the iOS or Android app store by simply searching for “BrowZine”. It will be a free download.
Step 2 Open the app and select the appropriate institution from the list provided by either searching or scrolling.
Step 3 The next screen will have your institution’s logo and will indicate that you need to use BrowZine Pairing Service for remote authentication. Tap “continue”.
Step 4 After a brief loading screen you will be prompted to login or sign up for a BrowZine Account. If you already have a BrowZine Account, perhaps from signing up for one on the web at BrowZine.com,
you can simply login here and skip to step #8. If not, please tap on “Sign up”.
Step 5 A BrowZine Account requires an email and password that you create. We recommend using a work email to ensure you can access that email from WITHIN your institutional
network as that will be required to complete the pairing process.
Step 6 Confirm this email when it arrives. This screenshot shows confirming this email on an iPhone, but you can also confirm at a desktop computer.
After you see the confirmation screen, simply return back to the BrowZine App.
Step 7 Back within BrowZine the screen should update to indicate that your account is confirmed as shown here. Tap “Continue to BrowZine”.
Step 8 Depending on if you are using a device within the wi-‐fi zone of your institution, you will see one of two screens next as shown in Steps 8A or 8B below.
Step 8A You are within the Wi-‐Fi of your institution and if so, BrowZine will notify you that the pairing is complete and you can continue on to use BrowZine! In this case, you are
all set and just see Step 12 for information about seeing how much time remaining you have before you need to pair your device again with the institutional network.
Step 8B You are setting this up from off the institutional network and/or your institution may not have a WiFi zone you can use with your personal device. In this case, this second screen will be presented
allowing you to pair by email by clicking on the white button.
Step 9 You will receive a second email that is a pairing confirmation. This email MUST be clicked from within your institution – either on a desktop computer or by a device
connected to the institutional wi-‐fi to prove that you are associated with this institution.
Step 10 The link in the email will get you to a page asking you to sign in with the BrowZine Account you recently created. You can click this link from your mobile device or from a desktop
computer so long as that device is within the IP range of your institution.
Step 11 If you are indeed within your institutional network you will get a confirmation that your device is now
paired and you can return to BrowZine. Return to the BrowZine app and click the red “try again” button. BrowZine will recognize that you completed the pairing process and let you in.
Step 12 You can always go to the SETTINGS tab within BrowZine to see how much time you have left in the pairing. Pairing starts out at 90 days, so if you just completed this you now have
89 days left. Once this time expires you will be prompted to re-‐pair your device again. Alternatively, you can avoid this by periodically using BrowZine (just launching the app) within the institutional Wi-‐Fi if possible. This automatically will bring you back up to 90 days.
