Don’t get cross searching – use our cross-searching tool!

Looking for electronic journals and electronic books across the two University libraries? Save yourself some time and use our new HYMS Library cross-searching tool which searches for either ebooks or ejournals held at both University libraries without you having to search the separate catalogues.

The cross-searchers are available on our HYMS Library webpages, on either the ‘Find Books’ tab or on the ‘Find Journals by Title’ tab.
Please let us know what you think of this service by sending any feedback or comments to library@hyms.ac.uk.

Scarborough catalogue - going online!

Staff of the York & Scarborough Library Service are currently busy inputting Scarborough Library resources onto the previously York Teaching Hospital Library only online catalogue . Currently searching the 'Scarborough Library' option will retrieve no results but using the 'York and Scarborough Hospital Libraries' option will.

A reminder too that Scarborough Library is currently staffed between 10:00-15:00 Monday to Friday. The Libary is open, however, from 09:00-17:00.

Wikipedia down today

Online encyclopaedia Wikipedia has blacked out the pages of its English-language website for 24 hours today in protest at draft anti-online piracy legislation before the US congress. Read more by clicking on the link above.
