This guide is aimed at Nursing students. As your Librarian, I can help you find and reference resources. I can provide information literacy support, copyright advice, and signpost other university services.
Join us in May for Skin Cancer Awareness Month as we highlight the importance of skin health and cancer prevention. Our library offers a wealth of resources to help you understand, prevent, and manage skin cancer. Visit our library catalogue to discover the full range of resources available and take advantage of the knowledge and support offered during Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
May is skin cancer awareness month. Whether you are directly affected by skin cancer or you just want to find out more, we have information that can help. For skin cancer awareness month, Macmillan Cancer Support has answered some of the most frequently asked questions about skin cancer.
More people die of melanoma per year in the UK than in Australia. Yet 86% of cases of melanoma are preventable, and increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer. There are now more than 16,700 new cases each year in the UK.
We want to encourage everyone to be sun-safe and to find out more about sunscreens and skin safety. We are encouraging anyone who has noticed changes in their moles or lesions to contact their GP. Many of these moles or lesions do NOT end up being anything serious, however, it is always important to be diagnosed early, as early-stage melanomas are generally curable.

Over time I will add particular resources for social care, and legal and ethical matters to this guide. Until then please see:
The Health Subject Guide for social care, social policy and community nursing resources;
The Law Subject Guide for legal and ethical content. One key resource from the law guide is Lexis+.
LibKey Nomad is a great tool which helps you to easily find scholarly journal articles. When you are searching on the web, Nomad lets you know if any of the content is available from our library subscriptions or open access alternatives.
All you need to do is add an extension to your web browser.
Go to libkeynomad.com, select your browser at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions to add the extension. When prompted, select London Metropolitan University as your organisation.
When searching the web look out for the Nomad button to link you to the article.
LibKey.io provides access to journal articles using either the digital object identifier (DOI) or PubMed Identifier (PMID). If the article is available through the Library’s subscriptions or it is Open Access you will be able to access the PDF or the article link.
If you don't know the DOI or PMID you can search for journals and journal articles using Library Search. See Understanding journals - Finding information - LibGuides at London Metropolitan University for more guidance.
