Resources for Researchers

Finding the time to look for quality information as a researcher isn’t always easy, which is why we’ve highlighted a number of key resources for you. From subscription databases and journal collections to Open Access repositories; setting-up alerts and RSS feeds to deliver information from key journals straight to your in-box; or finding places where you can share your research, reach global audiences, and increase your research impact factor – our Information for Researchers page will help you save time navigating a world of information.

If you need one-to-one support in using our resources for your research, please contact either Scott McGowan (Tel: 01782 734506 or E-mail: s.mcgowan@keele.ac.uk) or Scott Chesworth (Tel: 01782 734510 or E-mail: s.chesworth@keele.ac.uk) – your Research Support Librarians.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

New Charlotte Sneyd Display in the Library
