Are you a new student starting at Keele University this year?

If you are a new nursing or midwifery student starting at Keele University we’d like to welcome you to the Health Library. We are a specialist health library and are partnered with the NHS.

How can we help you?

We’re conveniently located at the Clinical Education Centre; you’ll notice our main doors as soon as you walk into the atrium. 

You don’t need to complete any forms to join – your Keele card acts as your library card and you are added automatically to our library system.

Here you can find lots of resources to search for the information you need for your studies. Don’t worry, we have lots of help so that you can get to grips with everything. You’ll also be able to study in the rotunda, use the printing & photocopying facilities and access the nearby computer suite.

See our web page for new students or check our Welcome tour for more details. Look out for more blog posts over the next couple of months highlighting our services.

Hopefully we’ll see a lot of you over the next few years.
