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

  • 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.
