The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub is a search tool to connect NHS staff to knowledge and evidence resources in one place It includes online journals, e-books and databases, clinical decision support resources including NICE Guidelines and BMJ Best Practice, and one-click links to full-text.
The Hub is useful whether you are just trying to find a specific journal article or e-book, or if you want to search across resources. You can find journal articles, e-books, clinical decision support tools and clinical guidelines all in one place.
To see all the resources available to your Trust, log in using your OpenAthens credentials, where it says: 'Welcome, Guest', in the yellow bar at the top. You can still search the Hub without logging in, although access to resources will be restricted.

The mobile app is downloadable via your App store to either iOS or Android devices.
Further information, including setting up BrowZine Bookshelf (app only) is available through the General BrowZine FAQ.
Although it's easier and more convenient to 'browse' to journals via BrowZine, and search for journal articles and e-books via the Hub, it is also possible to browse and search specialist journal collections, which also form part of the NHS resources subscription.
