Do you need help using other aspects of Library Search?
Let us know your suggestions for additional video guides by emailing ials@sas.ac.uk
Library Search allows you to find and access all of IALS Library’s resources in one place, including books, e-books, journals, databases, theses and more. To accompany our written guide on using Library Search, we have put together some short video guides to help you get the most out of Library Search.
You can use your account on Library Search to manage your library account including renewing your books, creating and managing your favourite items, and accessing our e-resources. You will need to sign in using the email address you gave to IALS Library when you registered. Watch this video to find out more about signing in.
You can find and access all of our electronic resources via Library Search. Watch this short video guide to find out how to identify if an item is available electronically and how to get access both in the library and remotely.
