Resources

Books and eBooks

Our book collections are held on Library Search – this is the catalogue for all books held at both the Health Library (PGMC, County)  the Health Library (CEC, Royal Stoke) as well as the book collection at Keele University Campus Library. As a member of the Health Library at County you also have access and can borrow books from the Health Library at Royal Stoke. You can request items and pick them up and return them to either library. 

Some ebooks on Library Search are also available to NHS staff. You’ll see a link within the ebook entry. To access the full-text you’ll need to enter your NHS OpenAthens username / password.

We also have some ebooks available via NHS-only resources. Check our ebooks page for more information on how to access these:
