What is it?
Library Search is the library’s search engine that allows you to search across many of our collections, for books, journals and articles.

How can it help you?
You can use Library Search to:
  • Search for books and ebooks on your reading list
  • Search for references on your reading list
  • Search for information to support your course

There is a simple search box for you to enter your search terms.You can then use the filter options on the left-hand-side to focus/refine your search. For example you can focus by:
  • Library
  • Material Type
  • Subject
  • Collection / Provider

How do you access it?
You can search on Library Search without logging in. The link to it is on the Health Library home page. However you will need to log in to online resources to access the full-text.

More Help?
Campus Library have produced a number of videos to help you to get started with Library Search.
