New website for the Health Library

Our new website is going live today!

The Health Library website is getting a new up-to-date look, keeping it in-line with the main Keele University look and feel.

You’ll still find the same content and services to help you get to the right resources, develop your skills and practice evidence-based medicine.

Some key changes:

  • The menu is now along the top – all the original content can be found by navigating the menu.
  • The Quick Links are listed centre-page. You’ll find the most important and popular links you’ll need here. They have been split into links for different user groups.
  • Keep scrolling – due to the changes in the page layout you may need to keep scrolling down to find all the content.
  • We’ve moved some sections together to reduce the number of top menu options – check the Specialist Support section for: Inter-Library Loan Service, Literature Search Service, NHS Outreach Service, More support for NHS Staff, Support for Keele academics and researchers

URL / web address changes:

There have been a few URL / web address changes for some pages – you may need to update your bookmarks. Main ones to look out for are:
  • Inter-Library Loans section
  • NHS Resources
  • The Information Skills eTutorials section has been re-arranged
