Library Search is the University of Worcester’s search engine for our collections and subscriptions. You will find Library Search in the centre of the Library Services home page.
Library Search includes books, ebooks, book chapters, journals and journal articles, and magazine and newspaper articles. After your module resource list, Library Search is a great starting point for discovering your own reading materials.
Understanding how Library Search works is important for creating an effective search and finding relevant sources.
Most of our resources can be searched simultaneously using the General tab although there are some exceptions. You should refer to your Subject Guide for recommended resources, databases and websites from your Academic Liaison Librarians, as these guides will include links to relevant resources which you won’t find through Library Search.
