Banner Health FAQs

There is more than one way to create a eTOC

There are 4 ways that we suggest, none of them have access to all the journals. You may need to mix and match tools to get the alerts you want. 

• Ovid>My Workspace>My eTOCS
• Browzine
• Ebsco>Folder>Journal Alert
• Popular Journals

Amy's Preferred Method : Ovid eTocs

1o. Locate Ovid Medline on the library homepage. No need to choose a resource. Click on My Workspace.

2o. Click My eTocs. Ignore the login message.

3o. Add your email address

4o. Find the journal. Be sure to check for any abbreviations of the journal name.

5o. Add HTML once you have found the journal you want. Of course, OVID may not have the journal you require. 

Browzine

1b. Use the Browse for journals under the Journals tab. This will take you to the Banner Health Browzine site.

2b.Use Browzine to get an electronic version of the Table of Contents of your favorite journals.  It allows you to save articles to read later, share articles with colleagues or request articles from Banner Library Services if the full article does not immediately download.

3b. See the Journal Reading Apps webpage for additional information

EBSCO

1.Start at the Banner library homepage.  Click on the Advanced Search link in the OneSearch box. 

2. Make sure you are signed into MyEBSCO. Your Banner network credentials will authenticate you.  If you do not have a Banner email, please use your Banner OpenAthens account.

3. Select Publications tab.

4. Click on down arrow to left of search box to choose nursing, medical, or business database to look for journal.

5. Type in a journal name, example "Modern Healthcare."

6. Click on title of found journal to proceed. (Note that while EBSCO does not include all titles, it has a large selection.)

7. Click on the three dots to the right of the journal title. Select "create alert" from the drop-down menu.

8. Enter your email address and click on the Create Alert button.  Alerts will be active for one year.  Alerts may be edited in your MyEBSCO account.
