Find e-books, e-journals, articles and much more. This version of LibrarySearch shows only items that are available to access online.
Extra e-books for you
You have access to an extra 180,000 e-books that are available only to students at our European Centres.

You can also view your reading lists in Moodle.

Subject guides
Our librarians recommend these resources for your specific area of study:
Document delivery – request chapters or articles
If the journal article or book chapter you need isn't available from the University of Kent's e-resources or in print in your local libraries, we'll try to get it for you via the document delivery service.
Before you make a request
Check:
- LibrarySearch Europe to see if the item is available as an e-resource.
- with your supervisor if the item is available from another source or there is an acceptable alternative.
- the catalogues of relevant local libraries to see if they have the item, or a suitable alternative.
You must have approval from your supervisor before you make the request.
To make your request
- Go to LibrarySearch Europe
- Click Document Delivery Request (top right)
- Follow the instructions for your European Centre
When your item has arrived
Articles and chapters are supplied in digital format by the British Library and you'll get an email with the link to the document.
There are restrictions to your use of the document, due to copyright legislation:
- you can only print one copy and may not make further copies
- you may not make further electronic copies, convert the file to any other format, or copy and paste from it
- once downloaded/saved, the document will "self-destruct" after 3 years
