Our services can get you to the information you need quickly:

Inter-Library Loan (ILL) Service – don’t waste money purchasing online articles. Our ILL service will help you to get to information sources which are not covered by our subscriptions. We will try to borrow or copy the relevant items from another library on your behalf.

Literature Search Service – request a literature search and one of our experienced librarians will do the search for you. You’ll receive a report including a list of the articles and research we have found for your topic. Complete the online form to make a request.

NHS Outreach Service – users working for the Staffordshire ICB or for North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare can contact the Outreach Librarians for help accessing resources.

We also have pages to support specific groups of staff to help you to get straight to the resources that will benefit you most.
