KnowledgeShare – New Library Current Awareness Service

What is it? A targeted current awareness service.  Whenever we find high impact documents in your area, we'll let you know.

Why use it? To see the latest high-level evidence in your field.

How it works We create your KnowledgeShare profile as broad or as specific as you need. For example if you work in the area of obstetrics, you could receive everything published on obstetrics or just items related to gestational diabetes.  Just let us know what you need.

What is included? We add guidelines, policy documents and a wide range of summarised evidence so that you will not be inundated with primary research articles.

KnowledgeShare is also used by the library team to record any literature searches carried out for you. You will be able to access the results of the literature searches carried out for you.

How do I join? Complete the online registration or collect a form from the library.
