Broaden your research horizons

The NHS provides an excellent range of research on medical and clinical topics through the Healthcare Databases Advanced Search (HDAS) resource  - click here for access to a variety of databases such as Medline, CINAHL and PsycINFO.

However, you may sometimes require information on a subject that isn’t covered by those regular databases. And if you’re not undertaking a formal course of study, with associated university support, you will find it difficult to find high quality, peer-reviewed material from the leading journals in the field.

Now your local public library can help with the Access to Research initiative.

This project provides access to over 10 million articles on an extensive range of specialities including business, politics, and the sciences. You can search for articles here.  Although you can search from any PC, you will need to use a computer in a public library to see the full text of any article.  All Stockport’s libraries are participating in the scheme. For further details, including addresses for all Stockport branch libraries and to check on other participating libraries go to the directory here.

Material is provided for non-commercial research and private study only.
