LKC uses the open source, web hosted KOHA library management system. The LKC catalogue access is available via the internet and therefore you can search from home.

The LKC does not share a catalogue with other QH libraries. You will not find our resources on the QH libraries catalogue. You must use the link for the LKC Catalogue.

What happens if the LKC doesn’t have what you want in the collection or it’s not available on CKN? Then we have access to Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loans services where we can request items from other libraries or purchase articles from a commercial provider.

Send requests via email (include payroll number for registered staff article requests) or use our online forms available at Request forms page of our website.

Looking for a CKN eBook? Go to CKN, select ALL eJournals & eBooks search (left hand menu link).
