Advanced subject searches
We recommend you use specialist databases, such as abstract indexes, in addition to using Library Search.
Consult your relevant Subject Guide for recommendations or contact your Subject Librarian.
Goldsmiths Special Collections
Library Search indexes some Goldsmiths Special Collections.
To search the full archives and textile collections use the Goldsmiths Archives Catalogue.
Senate House and other library collections
Library Search looks for items in Goldsmiths Library collections by default, however, once you have performed a search you can use the ‘Include results from other libraries’ option to discover additional resources. Using this button allows you to quickly check if the resource is available online or in print at Senate House Library.
Not all Senate House Library resources are indexed by Library Search, so if you can't find a specific item using this method we would recommend searching the Senate House Library catalogue directly.
If the resource you discover is not available at Goldsmiths Library or at Senate House Library you may still be able to access it by requesting an Inter-Library Loan.
Senate House provides access to some key databases that we recommend searching separately. Recommendations for these can be found on your Subject Guide where relevant to your department.
