You can find e-books using two main routes: the University Library Search and the NHS Scotland Knowledge Network. Both use the same platform, so the search process is very similar.

Start by entering your topic into the search box. Then:

• For University Library Search: select Books, then use the filter on the left-hand side to limit to Available online.

• For the NHS Knowledge Network: select Books, then filter by Full Text Online.

This will help you quickly find e-books you can read straight away.

We have access to ClinicalKey Student which gives access to around 300 Elsevier medical textbooks. 

Please note that you do NOT have to create a personal account to use this service. To login without using one, choose to login in via an institution and enter St Andrews. 

The LWW Health Library includes access to over 40 medical textbooks, self-assessment tests and videos.
