What resources are searched through the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub?

By

 The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub is the new discovery service to help you to find information and evidence from a selection of NHS subscribed resources. It is supplied by Ebsco and includes searching items from Ebsco's Knowledge Base.

These datasets do not include all the bibliographic databases purchased nationally or locally.  They include CINAHL and Medline which are supplied by EBSCO. However they do not include the databases supplied by ProQuest and Wolters Kluwer (Ovid) such as BNI and EMBASE.  This also means that BNI, EMBASE etc are not available when you select to 'Limit by Databases' in a search.

HEE have released a list of all the current resources which are searched within the Hub; note that this does not mean all items are available in full-text:

Article integrity checks for NHS staff

By
Want to have extra quality and integrity checks for the articles you find? Use library NHS resources and get warnings if the article you're reading fails integrity checks. NHS resources use LibKey to easily point you to subscribed resources. Now LibKey also does a number of integrity checks to help you feel confident with the articles you find. You’ll get warnings about: Retracted articles Retracted article citation (where an article includes references to articles which have been retracted) Expression of concern for the article (where publishers have concerns about some aspect of a published article) Problematic publishers information Warnings are presented at point of access whether from article links in databases or on the web via LibKey Nomad. Make sure you use library resources so that you are using LibKey links and integrity checks. For more help please contact the eresources librarian c.kent@keele.ac.uk
