How it works

Library Search utilises data from the Library catalogue and from a third party service called EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS).

There are two search tabs, Books, e-books and DVDs and Articles and more.

Books, e-books and DVDs is the default and searches across:

• Print collections
• E-books
• DVDs/Blu-rays/Videos
• Other physical items held in the libraries
• Queen Mary Research Online

Articles and more searches across:

• Most of our print and electronic collections
• Resources from the institutional repository, Queen Mary Research Online
• Citations from some external databases (if you expand your search to include non-full text items)

If you’re looking for a book or DVD that you will be able to borrow from one of the libraries, or an e-book, then the Books, e-books and DVDs search is recommended. To search for any other resources including journal articles, online newspaper articles and other e-resources you should use Articles and more.
