• Clinical Key is the database with these midwifery textbooks included.
• Once you have paid for your access at Student Finance, take your receipt to the Library and staff will give you a registration code.
• For first time access go to this Clinical Key registration link.
• Add the registration codes given to you by the Library staff and click Continue and you will be directed to the login page.
• Then click "Register now" and use your Ara student email address as your username and set up a password. 
• We recommend you use your Ara network password so you don't need to remember a different password. Also do not use an underscore _ symbol in your password.
• Then bookmark or favourite this link at https://www.clinicalkey.com/student/nursing/ in your web browser for easy access. 
• Once you set up your Ara email and password access you can download the Clinical Key Student Bookshelf app for GooglePlay or Apple and choose "Nursing student" to see all your books. Please note that you can use the CK Bookshelf app on one device only. If you instal it on two devices you will need to log out of one of them to use the other. Find out the features of Bookshelf here.

 To search for alternative spellings, use * in place of missing letters - e.g. Johns*on, colo*r, design*

 To search as a phrase rather than separate words use "  " around your phrase e.g. "climate change".
