Improved book searching

Image
By
New services are being added to the Library catalogue over the summer months.

Today saw the first of the changes with the addition of Syndetic Solutions; a product which provides a front cover picture on the catalogue book listing. Not only will it make it easier for you to identify the item on the shelves, but if the image states Reviews and more, you will be able to view a synopsis or browse the table of contents to help you find out if this is the book for you!

Please note that this service is not available for all titles. More information is likely to be available for newer items.

Look out for internet links on the catalogue if the book is available on the Keele network. Online books allow for fully searchable text and contents links that take you straight to the required page. NHS e-books can be searched by logging into NHS Athens account on NHS Evidence.
