App of the Month – the Health Library

Here is our App of the Month for November.

Do you know that you can access your library account and search for books using your mobile devices?

It is a bit complicated – you start with the Keele University app which has a section for the libraries. This will then also direct you to the Library Anywhere app and the Catalogue.


You will be able to:

  • View the list of items you have borrowed
  • View any outstanding fines
  • Search the library catalogue for items
  • View information about the Health Library
  • Renew your borrowed items
