Check out your Life Sciences Subject Guide which details other recommended resources and support.

We have created a series of videos to help with searching some of our databases.

We offer a drop-in service in the library Monday – Friday 10am -4pm, subject to staff availability, to get you started with your literature searching.

You can also book a tutorial with a member of library staff for help.
