Searching the Library's collections

This guide will tell you about the best ways to search the University of Greenwich's physical and online collections. 

There are several different kinds of academic resource available to you to support your learning and research. These include print books, eBooks (online books), journal articles, videos, and more. Depending on the type of resource you want to find, you will need to use Library Search, our Digital Resources Search, or the Publication Finder. 

Library Search is the Library’s main search tool, allowing you to cross search many of our print and online collections in one place. Use Library Search to discover books, full text journal articles, some (but not all) of our eBooks, and audio-visual content. 

Accessing Library Search 

On the student or staff University portal, find the link to Library Search on the My Learning (students) or Learning Support (staff) page. Type your search words, or the title of the resource you are looking for, into the Quick Library Search box under Search the Library to get started. The next page will display a list of library resources that match your search. 

You can also access Library Search on the University Library’s homepage or directly via the link at the end of this page. 

Refining your Library Search results 

You can use the options on the left- and right-hand side of the Library Search results screen to select your home campus library for print books, or to select the format you are looking for (books, eBooks, articles etc.).
