Libraries & Collections are committed to supporting our learner communities to the best of our abilities. We do this in different ways across a number of platforms, like Library Guides, KEATS and LibAnswers FAQs, Each platform has its own purpose:

Library webpages

These give a quick overview of library services and resources, where you will find:

• A direct library search box on our home page.
• Quick links based on your library status e.g. taught students, researchers, NHS staff and Academic staff. 
• Information about library locations, services and facilities. 
• Overview of our collections including eresources and our Archives and Special Collections. 
• Links to Research Support webpages. 

Library Guides

Our Library Guides (like this one) are designed to help you navigate and signpost you through the platforms we use to inform and support our communities at King's. We have Library Guides that are specifically focused on different subjects and that can be used to help you choose and access relevant resources and support for your subject.
