New Library Website

The Healthcare Library, along with the rest of Library and Knowledge Services at South London Healthcare NHS Trust now has a new website where you can find details of all our services and resources on offer. To avoid duplication of effort this blog will no longer be kept updated although you can still read previous posts.

More free clinical e-books available now

This is one for the doctors (yes, you know who you are!) who don't have time to read through a whole book to find the information you need and don't have the energy to lug a massive hardback medical textbook to and from the library every day. Help is at hand through a free e-book trial of some major clinical titles at MD Consult. Visit http://library.qeht.googlepages.com/MDConsultE-books.pdf for a full list of the e-books on offer.

Access couldn't be easier. All you need is your Athens account:

- Login to http://www.athens.ac.uk/myathens using your Athens username and password
- Select "Resources"
- Select "Local Resources"
- Select "MD Consult"
- Select Books and either browse be specialty or by author.

This trial access will only run until 14th October but if you think any or all of these titles may be a good addition to the Healthcare Library, do let us know!
