Discover even more resources in the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub!


We’ve added even more resources to the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub.

The print books at the Health Library (Royal Stoke) and the Health Library at County, and more e-books can now be found in the Hub.

 

What does it mean?

When you carry out a search in the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub, print books and e-books from our library catalogue LibrarySearch will be included in the results; along with the items from our other NHS resources.

 If you wish to narrow the results down to just the items from our library catalogue  – click on the ‘Library catalogue only’ limiter on the left hand side of the screen.

 This is also the best option to use if you want to restrict your results to view the print stock from both health libraries. 


Library catalogue only limiter, in the 'Limit To' options.

If you wish to filter the results to just the print stock from a particular library - scroll down the left hand side of the screen to ‘Library Location’. Click on ‘Library Location’ to open the list of libraries and select the library you wish to see the results for.

 If you select both libraries on ‘Library Location’, you will only see print book titles where we hold copies at both sites.

Library location limiter - expand and select the library you require.


What does it look like and how do I access resources?

 Print books:

Print books will display as below with details of the library location, shelfmark - the Call No. and current availability of the book.

If an item is available – jot down the call no. and pop along to the library.

If you wish to place a reservation on a book – click on the ‘Find at my health library’ button.

You will be taken to the library catalogue, where you will be able to login with your library card number and password and then place the reservation.

For more information about placing reservations please see below.


 E-books:

E-books from our library catalogue will display as below.  

There will be no location, call no. or availability information listed.

You will be taken to the library catalogue, from where you will then be able to click on the NHS access link.

Does this mean everything available to me is now listed in the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub?

 No. You may be interested in items from Keele University’s wider book collection.

To view these items you will need to search in the library catalogue LibrarySearch which can be accessed here

 

How do I place a reservation on a print book?

 After you have clicked the ‘Find at my health library’ button in the Hub, you will be taken to the item record in our library catalogue.

In the ‘Find & Request’ section  - click the link to ‘Sign in’
