Content offered by HINARI at MUHAS

The HINARI AGORA and OARE partners agreed last year to provide a mid-year notice to registered institutions indicating which publishers’ content would be available in their country, area or territory in the upcoming calendar year. We are happy to provide you that information at the following URL:
Please be aware that while the vast majority of our partner publishers have confirmed their offer for this year; there are a few that have not yet confirmed that they will make no changes in the coming year. We kindly invite you to check back at this URL if you need verification of the publisher offer later this year.  The link will provide the latest information we have received from the publishers.

Other latest news:
  • In mid-July, HINARI, AGORA and OARE launched their new portals. Six languages are now available, including Arabic and Russian.  These new interfaces simplify access to journals, books, subjects, languages, publishers, PubMed or CAB Abstracts plus the various databases, article searching options and reference sources. 
  • The complete list of Books is also available.
  •  One significant feature has been added to our portals. Now you can export the complete list of journals from the option View complete list of journals, selecting All Items tab. This is particularly useful for those institutions using Discovery Tools or adding journal links in their library catalogues.
  •  Distance Learning Courses in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese are available through ITOCA and Medical Library Association Moodle servers. The courses are a series of PDF files and a Word exercises document. After the evaluation, a certificate is extended. 
  • For those involved in Research4Life training, there is a new training module titled Research4Life Programmes Comparison.  It is an overview of HINARI, AGORA and OARE.  The three websites have similar key access points with the significant differences being the databases that are searched to identify articles.
