Welcome to the HINARI Homepage
Welcome to the HINARI Homepage. This tutorial
will look at how to use the HINARI website.
The HINARI website address
To access the HINARI website, enter the
URL http://www.who.int/hinari/
Choose a language option
Choose a language option.
This tutorial will be in English.
Registration 1
Your institution must be registered for you to gain
access to the full-text electronic resources.
Click on the Register link to access the form – to
see if your institution is registered or must
complete this process.
Before registering your institution, you need to check if your
organization already has registered. Click on the
REGISTERED UNIVERSITIES AND PROFESSIONAL
SCHOOLS link. This list is updated weekly.
Note that you also can confirm that your institution is
eligible for HINARI by clicking on the (check eligibility) link.
From the drop down menu, click on your country
– to see the list of registered institutions. For this
exercise, we have chosen Viet Nam.
If your institution is registered, contact the
Librarian or Director for the User Name and
Password. If you are not able to do this, contact
HINARI at [email protected]. Please note that
only Universities and Professional Schools are
included in these lists.
Note: Only ONE registration per institution is
required/preferred.
This is one of the pages
` of the 'Institution profile' that you will
not be able to view. Note the important Contact Details that
can contain 'out-of-date' information.
For updating contacts, please provide the full names of your
country, institution, librarian and/or director, and his/her e-mail
address(es), to the trainers or to HINARI via [email protected] .
Registration 2
Only one registration per institution is required. If not
registered, complete form, enter the Registration Check and
click on Send Registration.
Once the institution is registered, the librarian will receive a
HINARI User Name and Password. All members of the
institution are entitled to use the institution’s User Name and
Password.
Note: for Yahoo, Ymail and some other providers, the
HINARI welcome message is put in the Junk Mailbox. If you
have one of these programs, please check your Junk
Mailbox for the HINARI registration confirmation message.
Logging in to HINARI 1
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.

Logging into HINARI 2
We will need to enter our HINARI User Name and
Password in the appropriate boxes, then click on the
Login button.
Note: If you do not properly sign on, you will not have
access to full text articles.
If you fail to use the Login page, you will have a
second option on the Full text journals,
databases, and other resources sub-page.
In this example, we opened the Find
Journals by Subject ‘HIV/AIDS listing.
Note that only 7 journals are full access
while there is a long list of journals that
‘you must log in to access these journals’.
Once logged-in, you will be taken into the Full
text journals, databases, and other resources
sub-page of the website.
Note the ‘You are logged’ in message. This
proper login also can be confirmed by the
hinari-gw.who.int/whalecommextranet... url
Accessing journals by title 1
Journals can be accessed by title from an
alphabetical list.
For this exercise, click on ‘L’ from the A-Z list.
Note: there also is a View complete list of
journals option.
We have displayed the ‘L’ journal list. Click on the title for The Lancet.
The green box notes access to the contents of the journal for you while
the ! notes that your institution is denied access (predominantly Band 2
although some Band 1).
Note that the ‘years of volumes’ available are listed after the journal title.

Another window will open at the journal
publishers’ website.
For each article, there are three options:
[Abstract], [Full Text] or [PDF] formats.
You can get the article in Full Text or HTML
format that includes links to sections of the
article, bibliographic citations or related articles.
With the PDF or Portable Document Format, you
will receive a scanned image of the article. This
format is similar to the traditional print option .
To download a PDF document, you will need a
copy of the Adobe Acrobat program which can be
download freely from the Adobe website:
http://www.adobe.com
Other methods of finding journals
Articles can also be found via PubMed,
Subject listing, Language, and Publisher.
Accessing journals by via PubMed
Click on the link to find articles through PubMed.
Using PubMed will be covered in subsequent modules.
Accessing journals by subject 3
From the drop down menu, we have
selected Parasitology and Parasitic
Diseases.
Accessing journals by subject 4
An alphabetical list of Parasitology and
Parasitic Diseases journals is now
displayed with links to the journal
websites.
Click on the title Trends in Parasitology
After the title of the journal, the available
volumes/issues are listed.
By clicking on a journal title, you
will open the journal in a new
window: Trends in Parasitology.
Accessing journals by Language 1
To Find journals by language of publication,
click on the drop down menu.
Accessing journals by Language 2
In this example, we will look
for French language journals.
Accessing journals by Language
continued
An alphabetical list of French
language journals is displayed.
The ‘green’ box notes the access
status for your institution.
Accessing journals by Language 4
Select a title from the list and a new window will open at
the
publishers’
website:
etwindow
Maladies
Select
a title from
the listMedecine
and a new
willInfectieuses
open at
the publishers’ website.
To Find journals by publisher, click on the
drop down menu. This is different than the
Partner publishers services where users
enter the publisher’s portals.
As of January 2011, the links to HINARI
e-books have been moved from the
Reference Sources drop down menu to
the ‘Find journals by Title’ list.
We have opened the ‘C’ from that list. All
the e-books are listed at the top. In
Module 7.5 (E-book Resources for
HINARI Users) details access to e-books.
The Oxford Textbook of Medicine, 5th edition is one of
the foremost international textbooks of internal
medicine. It provides practical guidance on the clinical
management and prevention of disease, with in-depth
coverage of the traditional specialty areas. The initial
page contains an ‘expandable’ table of contents that
details the contents of each topic. Also available is the
Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine, 3rd edition.
Also included in the Reference Sources listing
are numerous psychiatry/psychology related
full-text resources. We have opened the
American Psychiatric Association Practice
Guidelines tool that is searchable by keyword
and broad subject categories.
Partner
publisher
services
1
We can also access full text resources from Partner
publishers’ websites by selecting from the drop down
menu. Note that the menu lists which Publishers ‘You
have full access to.’
Using Partner publishers’ websites will be taught in next
module.
Partner publisher services
continued
Once we have selected a publishers’
resource, a new window will open – in
this case Wiley-Blackwell InterScience.
Partner publisher services 3
We have selected Elsevier Science Direct, another
Partner publishers’ website.
We briefly will introduce some of the other resources available from the
HINARI program. Via one of the three drop down menus, there are a
number of Databases and (Bibliographic) Indexes that can be accessed.
Note: Many of these resources are underutilized by HINARI users as
most individuals concentrate on obtaining full-text journal articles.
We have opened the initial page of Scopus (Elsevier), a large abstract and
citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with
smart tools to track and analyze research.
Being from a HINARI registered institution, and having logged into HINARI,
you will be able to use these resources from various commercial publishers.
CINAHL (EBSCO) is another resource 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.
A third resource from the Databases and (Bibliographic)
Indexes menu is Scirus. It is a searchable database to over
370 million scientific items including journal content,
scientists' homepages, courseware, pre-print server material,
patents and institutional repository and website
information. It also contains numerous SciTopics pages on
medicine and biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology.
Via the second drop down menu, we will
highlight a number of Reference Sources
that can be accessed from HINARI.
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 5 sources of
information on evidence-based practice in HINARI.
Another useful Reference Sources resource is BMJ
Learning. This site contains over 500 peer reviewed
evidence based learning modules. You are able to
browse the modules via a subject based drop down menu.
Note: you have to register and create a profile and include
your topics of interest – to access the documents.
The final Reference Sources resource we will look at is the
EndNoteWeb (Thomson Scientific). It is a reference
management software package used to manage bibliographies
and references when writing essays and articles. This is
invaluable for researchers and post-graduate students.
We now will sample several of the
resources from the Other Free
Collections drop down menu.
This is the HighWire Press initial page. From this site,
we can locate full-text articles and/or journal titles
directly without accessing HINARI as this resource is
based on IP (computer) addresses of eligible countries.
HighWire Press 3
The Free Access to Developing Economies link is
located on the initial page. Also of interest is the Free
full-text content link.
This is the initial page of the Free
Access to Developing Economies list
of HighWire Press.
As noted, the access is based on the
computer's IP Address and you can
go directly to the site using the url.
The Other Free Collection menu includes
FreeBooks4Doctors, a website that has links to
365 full-text books on the Internet. This gateway
is searchable by keyword, topic or language.

HINARI –
Accessing Articles:
Problems and Solutions
(Appendix 1)
Full-text Article Access Problems
Using the ‘Journals by title A-Z’ list, we are
attempting to access a full-text article from
the Blood.
Although HINARI users should have access
to this journal, we will use this as an example
of ‘what could go wrong.’
Access problems can be caused by:
1) failure to properly LOGIN with the institution's User Name/Password
2) technical problems at the Publisher's website
3) or problems with local systems (configuration of user institution’s
firewall, configuration of browser)
4) The publisher has not authorized access – mostly for Band 2 countries
Consequently, you may see a message on the Publisher‘ denying
access and requesting Sign In or Purchase Short-Term Access.
Note: Your HINARI institutional ‘User Name/Password’ will NOT work.
To confirm that you have used the institutional User Name and
Password correctly, check that you have the ‘You are logged in’
message.
This also is confirmed in the address or URL search box of the
web browser. If properly ‘authenticated’, you will see a URL that
begins with:
http://hinari-gw.who.int/whalecom...
Institutional Firewall Problems
In this situation, a proxy server is blocked by the
institution’s firewall. Please check with your
computer department to make sure the
institution’s firewall does not block proxy servers.
The computer system must be able to access
HINARI’s proxy server. Insure that you are
permitted access to the IP 158.232.242.4
through your institution’s firewall. Otherwise, you
will not be able to login properly and access
HINARI’s full-text articles.
Accessing journals by title 1
NOTE: If you have problems when you are accessing a full-text
journal from HINARI/PubMed (not via the links from the principal
HINARI page), there is one other step to check.
If you are unable to access an article from a journal via the ‘Link
Out’ icons in HINARI/PubMed, double check this by going to the
title in the ‘Journals by title A-Z’ list and also verify the years of
volumes available.
When viewing any page of the Journals by title A-Z list, the green box notes if
your institution has access to the contents of the journal. The ! notes that your
institution is denied access (predominantly Band 2 although some Band 1).
If you are denied access to a full-text article despite the green box, follow the
instructions in the next slide. Note that the ‘years of volumes’ available are
listed after the journal title.
Double check that you have completed the HINARI
LOGIN. If this is not the problem, notify HINARI staff
([email protected]) so that they can communicate with the
Publisher and resolve the problem. This example is an
email received from a HINARI user in Uganda.
Note: make sure you include your institutional User Name,
the name of the journal(s) and other details. Also include a
screen capture that contains the URL (Internet address) of
the journal (seen next slide).
This is the example of the screen capture that was
attached to the email message for [email protected]
For the JEM article, it noted that This item requires a
subscription. The publisher requested that the user
Sign in (User Name and Password for individual
subscription) or Purchase Short-Term Access.
Note: this screen capture includes the URL of the
journal. This information is invaluable to the HINARI
staff who will try to resolve the access problem.
You can create a screen capture by clicking on the
Print Screen key while viewing the webpage of the
journal. Then paste (edit/paste or control/v) the
material into a word processing document and send
as an attachment.
This additional screen capture notes that the
journal is listed on the J page of the Journals by
Title A-Z list, that the requested journal issue is
available and that, by the green box, the
institution should have access to the journal.
If the HINARI authentication system had worked
properly, the user would have had access to the
journal article.

HINARI –
Printing, Copying, Saving and
Emailing Articles:
Problems and Solutions
(Appendix 2)
Examples from:
• Elsevier – Science Direct
• Nature Publishing
• HighWire Press
We will review how to 'print, copy, save or email articles' by looking at the options
from three principal HINARI publishers. These issues can be complicated as they
often also are 'Access' problems.
Note: If you cannot 'access' a full-text article, see the 'HINARI Access Problems and
Solutions' document at:
www.who.int/hinari/training/HINARIaccessproblemsandsolutions/en/index.html
In the initial example, we have accessed the table of contents page of a current
issue of the Lancet via the Elsevier Science – Science Direct website. From
this page, you can access PDF files, Email Articles or Download PDFs plus, if
you click on the Title, you access the html version of the article that will be
'read' by your Web Browser.
Note: in most cases, the HINARI Partner Publishers will have similar options for
obtaining a copy of the full-text article.
`
We have accessed the HTML/full-text version of the article that is
displayed by the Web browser. Also from this page, you can go to the
PDF version or the E-mail Article option.
The E-mail Article option will include a link to the article but not the full
text. You will view messages such as:
“If you have a User Name & Password, you may already have access to this article. Please
login below' and 'If you do not have a User Name and Password, click the 'Register to
Purchase' button below to purchase this article.” (To access the full-text of this article, you
will need to LOGIN to HINARI and locate the required issue from the A-Z 'Find journals by
title' list.)
Note: The HTML version will include the hypertext links to footnotes
and other articles and you can copy/paste from this option. The PDF
version appears similar to a print copy. Once downloaded, you cannot
copy/paste from this option.
We have accessed the PDF version of the editorial titled Essential
medicines pricing-reform needed. There are two useful options for
obtaining a copy of this article:
1) Print (click to print this PDF file or pages from it)
2) Save (click to save this article to your computer or another location)
We have clicked on the Print
option and, in this case, the
commands for a Canon
IP1600 printer appear.
We have chosen the Save option. We have been directed
to the hard drive of the computer (c:documents/HINARI/).
Another option would be to send the file to a flash drive or
floppy disk that you have inserted into the computer. In
either case, you will be able to save the PDF file and view
the article at another time using Adobe Reader software..
We now will view some 'problems' when attempting to
obtain a copy of an article plus discuss several options.
In Nature, we have accessed an editorial titled 'Science
Restored.' You can note the similar functions:
1) Download PDF
2) Send to a friend
Reminder – the Send to a friend option will not result in
access to the fulltext article.
We have attempted to access the PDF file and have
come up with a blank page. Plus there appear to be
no options/button to return to`the previous page.
What options do we have since we cannot access
the PDF file in order to print it?
`
We have two ways to return to the article:
1) hold down the ALT key and click on the left arrow key
2) return to HINARI via one of the tabs in Web browser. By displaying
the History function, we can see the link to the PDF file (457511b.pdf)
and also the HTML/full-text article (Science restored:Article:Nature).
Either way, we should be able to return to the article in Nature and
'save' it using the other options.
We now will look at an article from the
`
HighWire
Press American Journal of
Epidemiology that is included in the 'Free
Access to Developing Economies' list.
We have accessed a recent volume of the
American Journal of Epidemiology. Note
that there is a FREE Full Text (PDF) option
for copying the article. We now will discuss
'emergency' options for WHEN the PDF file
cannot be opened and copied.
One of the options is to create a screen capture of the
text from what is displayed by the Web browser. This
example has been transferred to a MS Word
document. To obtain the complete article, you will
need to make a number of screen captures. Also the
blue hypertext links will not function.
You can create a screen capture by clicking on the
Print Screen key while viewing the webpage of the
journal. Then paste (edit/paste or control/v) the
material into a Word Processing document or NotePad
and save the file on your computer or flash drive.
In this final 'emergency' option starting from what is displayed by the
Web browser, we have highlighted (click left mouse cursor and, to
include the text, drag the mouse over the document). The material will
become highlighted in blue and can be copied (edit/copy or control/c).
Again, you will have to repeat the process several times. This method
can result in extra material being copied .
To save the highlighted material, again paste (edit/paste or control/v) the material
into a Word Processing or NotePad file and save the document to your computer or
flash drive.
Remember that these two 'copying emergencies' methods are used when the
publisher's options (save, print or email) are not available. Reminder - If you cannot
'access' a full-text article, see the 'Access Problems and Solutions' document at:
www.who.int/hinari/training/HINARIaccessproblemsandsolutions/en/index.html
