Library Search is our digital catalogue which holds a record of the resources available across all of Newcastle University's Libraries. Essentially, it's an advanced search engine that will provide the location and access details for any of our 1.4 million items of physical or digital stock.

So, Library Search will identify books, journals and law reports we have access to and will tell you where to find them, both in the Law Library and via our online services. You can also access Library Search via the Library website.

All staff and students are introduced to Library Search during induction, and most will find what they are looking for. There is an efficient way of using it though, and the following exercise will introduce you to how it can be used effectively in the Law Library service.

Please note: this exercise was designed for use by students. For Library Assistants, please go to 'Library Search for Library Staff' on the CS Learning Lab.

Please work through our Library Search for Law Students tutorial to better understand how to find legal resources. Click on the image below to begin.
