Access Keele Online Resources

By
Here is a quick run-down of how you can access the Keele-subscribed online resources you need:

Log In

You will need your Keele computer username and password to get access to subscribed resources.
If you are having problems with your account please contact the Keele IT department.

Library Search

You can use Library Search to find ebooks, ejournals and to run simple searches to find articles. Make sure that you log in to Library Search with your Keele computer username and password. This will help you to get to the full-text more easily.

Many of our popular print books are also available as ebooks. Follow these simple steps to read an ebook.

Databases

For nursing and midwifery students
Nursing and midwifery students will find the most relevant databases for their subject on their subject page. Use these specialist databases to find articles. Make sure you use the links on this page as most of the time the link will take you straight to the login page.

For medical students
Medical students can find links to the most relevant databases on their subject page. These databases will help you to find articles within your subjects area quickly. Again, make sure that you use the links on this page as many of the links will take you straight to the Keele login page.

Journals

When you run a search in a database you may not get a link to all the full-text content that we have – that journal may not be part of the database package. In this case double-check that the journal is not available from another Keele package. Go to our journals page to find the Keele Journals A-Z list and check whether the article is available from here. The list is maintained on Library Search, so remember to login to Library Search.

Literature Searching Sites

We keep a list of other Literature Searching Sites. These are key healthcare databases and websites. Searching is often freely available although you may not get access to all the full-text – for articles you can try looking for the journal via the A-Z list.

Subject Links

You can try the subject links section for the topic you are interested in. We’ve listed some popular free resources for particular specialties and healthcare topics.

RefWorks

Don’t forget to use RefWorks to keep a record of the articles and other resources that you want to keep to use in your assignments and dissertation.

Where to get help

We have a range of help options to help you to get started with our most popular resources. Check our Online Guides and Support section for online guides, tutorials and step-by-step instructions. Let us know if you need any more help and feel free to contact the Health Library using our remote-working options; we will do our best to help.
