How to find specialist content

Use the search bar to type the area you work in. The AI-powered search returns the most relevant lectures and resources, so you don't have to browse through every category.

You can also use Favourites to build a personalised collection of all your specialist content — your own private library within the library.

When a client brings something new

The library's most valuable use case is the moment of need. A client presents with something you haven't worked with before. That evening, you search the library and find a lecture by an expert in that exact area.

This is what members mean when they describe the library as "exactly what I have been looking for."
