Since our last Library Survey we’ve been working hard to bring you a new and improved website. You’ll see we’ve updated the overall look of the site and have a brand new logo, but our main aim has been to improve our current awareness service. You’ll be able to customise our new Knowledge Alerts so that you receive the information you want, when and where you want it. We also wanted to make it easier to access the resources that you use most frequently as well as improve how the site works and looks on your mobile devices.

If you use a PC please remember to keep your distance and wash your hands after use. Library Staff will still be available via email and our current awareness service (Knowledge Pages), literature search service and document supply (journal requests) will all be carried out as normal. All of our online resources will still be accessible via NHS OpenAthens. We have put together a short guide on the resources that you can access and how to access them.

If you want to access the physical library outside of our normal opening hours then you need to be a member. Once you have joined you can request 24 hour access which will usually be granted within 24 hours. There is a self service machine located at the side of the enquiry desk where you can issue, renew or return books. You will need your library PIN and Username, which will have been emailed to you when your joined. If you can't remember them, please contact us and we will send you an email reminder. We've put together a short guide on the resources that you can access and how to access them. We hope that you will find it useful in these difficult and extraordinary times.
