L is for Library Search

 Looking for a book at the Library? We have a healthcare specialist collection at the Health Library. Search on Library Search for items on your topic / specialty


Library Search is the main catalogue of all our print book collection. It also offers different collections of eresources depending on which user group you are in.

NHS staff library members

You can search Library Search for books and ebooks. The collection includes books from the Health Library, Campus Library and the Health Library at County. Library members can borrow items from any of these collections. You just need to place a request (on Library Search) and indicate where you want to pick it up. We’ll make the transfer and let you know when you can come in to collect it.

Some of the ebook collections, particularly healthcare related, are also available to NHS staff. Look out for the NHS OpenAthens link in the ebook online access details.

Make sure you use the search option Books and more… to limit the content to material you can access.

For more help using Library Search, take a look at our tutorial Library Search for NHS Staff.

Keele Staff and Students

Library Search offers Keele staff and students more than just the book collections. You’ll also get access to a wide range of online resources such as ebooks, ejournals and databases. You can use simple search terms to search for content to support your assignments. Use the search options to expand or limit your search.

For more help using Library Search, check the modules in the Campus Library in a Nutshell tutorial.
