Catalogue search

Search through the records for The Hive’s quarter of a million titles to find details of the books you can access in the building, as well as simultaneously searching the stock of all County branches. Links to online resources, such as Ancestry and a range of research databases, can also be found here.

While this search is available to all, if you are a University of Worcester student, you should log in to http://students.worc.ac.uk/ as usual to ensure access to your full range of educational resources.

Requesting the Library’s Older Journals

Paper copies of many of our older journals are held in The Hive's archives. They can be requested in advance by completing the online form here. You will receive an email with further information on where to collect the journal, and how to return it when you have finished. Please allow at least 24 hours when placing your request, to ensure that it is ready when you arrive at the Hive.

This applies to journals held by the library (details on the library catalogue), and showing as held on
Level 0: Journals Stack.
