Audiobook-style readings of academic articles
EBSCO Publishing and Taylor & Francis are VILNIUS TECH Library's subscription databases that include scholarly journal articles, conference proceedings, e-books, reviews, and theses in their full-text format. There are numerous topics covering a wide range of scientific fields.
These databases offer their users the possibility to read and listen to academic articles in scientific journals. EBSCO Publishing provides the Text-To-Speech function to listen to HTML articles. Taylor & Francis has introduced a new Text-to-Audio option for all journal content. The article should be marked with an HTML tag to listen to it. Please note that it is not possible to listen to a PDF article. You can listen to the full article online by clicking on the "Listen" button above the text or use your mouse to highlight the word, sentence or paragraph you want to hear and click on the "Listen" button. You also can translate the HTML articles into your preferred language and download the audio files of the HTML articles you are reading to your computer in MP3 format.
All databases can be accessed from a personal computer connected to the VILNIUS TECH computer network via VPN. When using the VPN service, two-factor authentication, i.e. confirmation in the mobile device application or by a call, is required for additional security.
You can find more eBooks for your studies in the library's subscription databases. More than 400,000 eBooks are available to the VILNIUS TECH community. You can search all the subscription databases as well as other library resources at one single click in the VILNIUS TECH Virtual Library.
