Library Network: Books and articles

To find books and articles, go to the Knowledge Network and select the Library Search tab. This catalogue search allows you to:

  • Find titles across NHS Scotland’s stock of print books, print journal archives and audio-visual resources
  • View and download online journal articles and the full text of national and NHSGGC-subscribed ebooks
  • Renew items you have on loan
  • Reserve items (whether on loan or not) and have them sent to your preferred library for collection

You need to sign in to view your library record; to renew or reserve items; or to view/download articles and ebooks. On the Library Search page of the Knowledge Network, select Sign In at the top right of the screen. You may sign in here with an NHS Scotland work email address and password if you have one, or an NHS Scotland Athens username and password if you don’t. Once signed in, click the drop-down arrow next to your name to view your library record for loans and renewals.

For information on accessing resources, including how to request items not available from our print and online collections, see the Knowledge Network searching for an item page.

Ensure you sign in via Library Search first before you request a non-stock item. Please note, this service is only available for NHSGGC staff and Partnerships. If you need further help with your request, contact library.documentdelivery@ggc.scot.nhs.uk.
