The K&L Hub offers you a wide range of filters. From the initial search results page you can select:
  • Full-text – whether the item is available to you in full-text
  • Peer reviewed – whether articles have been peer reviewed
  • Date – short range of publication dates to select. Note that you can customise the publication date range further in the All filters panel
  • Source type – such as books, articles, reports, reviews ect
The All filters button will reveal the filters panel. You can see what filters you have already selected and choose from a wide range. Some important filters to consider are:
  • Library Catalogue Only – to view books and ebooks on the Hub which are available for you borrow from the libraries’ collections
  • BMJ Best Practice – to focus on evidence-based guidelines
  • Publication date – select Date Range to enter your own dates
  • Limit by Subject – this can focus your results by subject heading, so focusing on content where the main topic is covered by your keywords
There are also a range of filters which help you to focus on the content provider / publisher / publication. These are only useful if you are searching for a specific item and you know these details.
