Example:

Login to the HINARI website by clicking on

LOGIN.

Note: If you do not login into HINARI, you

will not get access to the full text articles.

We will need to enter our HINARI User Name and Password in the appropriate boxes, then click on the Login button. To have access to the full text articles, you must properly sign in.

If you do not use the Internet Explorer Web browser, this slide will be all you see (as of 01 April 2014). If you use Internet Explorer, you will continue to have a two-step login process.

If you are using Internet Explorer, repeat the Login process on this 2nd page and you will be redirected to the HINARI Contents page.

Once logged-in, you will be taken into the

Access the content sub-page of the website.

Note the ‘Logged in from: Test Account’

message. That line will list your country. This

proper login also can be confirmed by the

hinarilogin.research4life.org/... url

Journals can be accessed by title from an

alphabetical list.

For this exercise, click on ‘C’ from the A-Z list.

Note: there also is a View complete list of

journals option although this list does not

have hypertext links to the journals.

We have displayed the ‘C’ journal list. The default is the Accessible Content page.

Click on the title for Canadian Geotechnical Journal.

The green box notes access to the contents of the journal for you while the ! Notes

specific journals that are titles not included in publishers’ offer to your institution. Note

that the ‘years of volumes’ available are listed after the journal title.

Another window will open at the journal publisher’s website usually with access to the online issues.

In this example, we opened the Browse

Subject ‘Entomology/Pest Control’ listing

(without the proper login) and clicked on the

All Items option. Of the initial17 journals titles

listed, only 3 are Full access to this content

AGORA to have full access to this content.

To find books by title, click on the appropriate

Books collection alphabetical letter.

Note that there is a View complete list of

books option although this page does not

have hypertext links to the specific titles. You

will need to go back to the Books collection

A-Z list to open any e-books.

We have opened the American Psychiatric

Association Textbook of Geriatric

Psychiatry e-book that is searchable by

keyword and broad subject categories.

From the HINARI Content page, you

also can open the Search inside

HINARI full-text through database

and article searching, Reference

sources and Free collections lists.

Note: Many of these resources are

underutilized by HINARI users as

most individuals concentrate on

obtaining full-text journal articles.

Via clicking on the Database and article

searching link, we have opened the Browse

databases A-Z list.

Similar to other access points, there are the

Accessible Content and All Items listings

that depend on the Publishers’ exclusions.

CINAHL (EBSCO) is one of the resources from

the Databases and (Bibliographic) Indexes menu.

It provides indexing for 2,960 journals and can be

searched for information on nursing, biomedicine,

health sciences librarianship, alternative/

complementary medicine, consumer health and

17 allied health disciplines. Via HINARI, many of

these journals can be accessed.

Now we have clicked on the

Reference Sources link and opened

the Browse reference sources A-Z list.

Many of these resources contain full-

text information on a variety of topics.

Cochrane Library contains high quality , independent

evidence for health care decision making. It includes

numerous access options including via keyword, MeSH terms

and category listings. Cochrane Library is one of 3 sources of

information on evidence-based practice in HINARI.

This page contains a series of modules that detail many of the features of HINARI that we have discussed – but in more detail. It includes access to the distance learning courses. Note Module 7 that contains information about additional resources available from the HINARI website.
