You can use any of the Libraries at Queen’s for accessing print books and journals, or for studying. However, the Biomedical Library on the ground floor of the Medical Biology Centre (MBC) on the Lisburn Road holds the most print books relevant to the School of Pharmacy.

All libraries offer group and individual study rooms which can be booked online via Queen’s Online > Administration.

For more information about each library at Queen's, please use the links below:

Yes, there are various library training events for pharmacy students covering an Introduction to the Library, using EndNote, Searching Databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus) and Finding Company and Industry Information. These training events are delivered via Microsoft Teams.

You can book your place via the MyFuture booking system, or contact Patrick Elliott via email.

Databases are subject-based search engines that enable you to search across a large number of journals simultaneously. They are used to find peer-reviewed literature on your topic.

Databases which you should consider for pharmacy topics include:

• MEDLINE
• Embase

Depending on your topic, you may wish to search additional databases. For step-by-step guidance on planning and running your literature search, please visit the literature searching tab of this guide.

The Learning Development Service at Queen’s (opens in new tab) provides referencing support for undergraduate students. You can also access the referencing section of the Transition Skills for University module and book one-to-one support.

All students can also use Cite Them Right Online, which helps you reference print, electronic, or performance sources accurately.

Postgraduate pharmacy students can contact Patrick Elliott for support, including help with EndNote referencing styles.

If you are required to undertake a systematic review, the Library’s Systematic Review LibGuide is a useful starting point.

Once you are familiar with the systematic review process and have discussed your topic with your supervisor, your Subject Librarian can provide advice on running searches across databases, finding grey literature, and using EndNote to store, organise and deduplicate references.

Unfortunately, EndNote desktop is only compatible with WIndows and MacOS devices, which excludes Chromebooks and iPads.

A workaround however may be to use EndNote Online.  EndNote Online is fully web-based version of EndNote and works with both Microsoft Word Online and Google Docs on any device, so you can connect your EndNote Online account with these apps wherever you are based, regardless of device.

More information on using EndNote Online is available here:

Creating an EndNote Online account.

Once you have set up your EndNote Online account and have added references, you can then use the Cite While You Write add-in available for either Microsoft Word Online or Google Docs. More information on using these add-ins is below:

Use ‘My Account’ to manage your loans. We aim to send students and staff an email alert before 7 night items are due. If you have borrowed a standard loan item, you will receive an email notification about automatic renewals. Students and staff receive overdues, recalls, reminders and other messages via their Queen's email account, so please check your email regularly.
