Keele University Reading Lists
Keele University Medical School have begun making selected readings lists available online.
Requesting Keele books whilst on placement at Shrewsbury
-
Ask us to request the book from the Keele Campus Library or the Health Library
-
The books will be sent here and issued on your Shropshire Health Libraries account
-
You can ask us to renew the book (you won't be able to renew online as we'll need to check with Keele that it can be renewed)
-
You can return the book here and we'll return it to Keele for you. We do
charge for late return of books, including books borrowed from Keele.
Avoid fines! Check the Shropshire Health Libraries catalogue, and your Keele WebMail account
Returning books
- You can return Shrewsbury Health Library to any Keele Library, and and Keele books to Shewsbury Health Library.
- The date you returned the book will be noted; you won't be charged fines for the time the book is travelling between sites.
Access to E-Resources
You have access to the majority of Keele's e-resources while you're on placement, including ebooks, ejournals and databases.
You'll need a Keele Athens account to access them. Occasionally a different log-in is required.
You can also apply for an NHS Athens account for the period you are on placement with Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, for access to additional e-resources.
RefWorks
RefWorks is reference management software and is available to Keele students by using your Athens account. You can download a guide to using RefWorks, prepared by Keele University.
