You have email them to add your institution, according to a tweet from QxMD.

Their site promotes “seamless automatic one-tap access to full text PDFs available” for a lot of universities ( full list scroll to bottom) including Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Washington University, and Yale.

It is also important to note their app is free and is available for the iPad as well as the iPhone (did not see an Android version). It is founded by “medical professionals” and is dedicated to “creating high quality, point of care tools for practicing health care professionals.” They are partners with Cardio Exchange, Society for Vascular Surgery, Vascular Study Group of New England, American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Canadian Society of Nephrology. Read is produced by QxMD which makes several medical apps. Thank you Alison!) If possible, I will take the reviews and try and compare the three apps against each other.
Alison has graciously agreed to try and write a guest post about it. (I usually try to use all of the products reviewed on my blog, but in this instance Docphin doesn’t work with the way my library provides off campus access and they don’t provide access to free journals. Next week Alison Aldrich, will provide a guest post about Docphin. Last week I reviewed Browzine, today I am going to review Read by QxMD. From what I can tell, there are three main apps out there that try and provide full text access to institutional journals subscriptions via the iPad. Recently I have been more atune to medical apps because I am in the process creating a libguide featuring medical apps.
