Library Resources

Kirkcaldy Campus Library hosts a wide variety of books and journals, in both hard copy and e-formats. Although our stock focuses on nursing, and healthcare we have a selection of psychology, sociology, study skills and fiction books. Members can also request books from our other library sites. Our delivery from the other 3 libraries is normally on Tuesdays, and you will receive an email when your reservations are ready to collect. Books from any of our 4 libraries can also be returned at Kirkcaldy Campus Library.

You can access numerous online databases including CINAHL, Medline and Web of Science. For further information, see the Nursing and Health Sciences Subject Guide with links to a wide array of resources and information.

Zine collection

Kirkcaldy Campus Library has a dedicated reference collection of health zines, relating to health and illness, including people’s experiences of living with health conditions.
