Library Search

The library homepage has been updated since this video, but the content remains the same. You may need specialist materials for your own subject area. To get started, check your Library Subject Guide. These are guides to the specialist resources that are most useful for the subject you are studying.

The best place to start your searching is the Library's search engine, which is called Library Search. This video is a guide to the main features of Library Search and how to get the most out of it.

The video demonstrates how to use the advanced search screen on Library Search. This feature allows users to narrow down their searches and combine alternative terms using AND and OR.

This video covers how to export items from your search results into reference management software, such as RefWorks or Mendeley.

This is a short video to show you how  to request a book that is on loan at the University of Huddersfield Library.

An inter-library loan is an essential book or article which you need that is not held by the University of Huddersfield Library.

We request items on your behalf from the British Library and other libraries in the UK or overseas. It is often delivered as a digital copy via email, and sometimes as a print copy via the library help desk.

All registered students and staff at the University of Huddersfield can use the service to support their university work or study.
