Resources for Medicine

Welcome Welcome

This guide will help you locate key information about the Library for your subject - it is a great starting point but as your Academic Librarian, I will always be happy to help with further queries.

Need Help? Need Help?

If you need help with Library Resources, here are your best options:

1. This guide! It has loads of useful information.

2. If you want more detailed guides to key skills like search strategy and referencing, the Library Toolkit has lots of material to get you started.

3. If neither of those things help and you need some personalised support, come to one of the drop-in sessions (details in the box below) to see your Academic Librarian.

4. If you can't make the drop-in sessions, ask questions using the Contact Form.

Search our Collections Search our Collections

Library Search	Library Search is the one-stop shop for searching all of our collections - physical and electronic. It attempts to pull in data from every database we have access to, and is a good place to start a search.
Find Databases	The Library subscribes to many databases, and to get the best results you'll need to search subject-specific databases individually (rather than through Library Search).
Find E‑Journals	Each database we subscribe to includes content from many different journals. If you want to look at articles from just one, use the Find E-journals tool to see which journals we have access to.

More information on how to navigate these tools can be found in our library search guide.
