Using Resources

You can access a wealth of resources, either in print at the library or online via your NHS OpenAthens username. You’ll be able to find good quality, healthcare-specific information to provide evidence for your practice and support your professional reading.

You can improve your information skills and literature searching skills by attending our training sessions or completing our online etutorials. We have a range of courses to help you to find the right kind of information you are looking for.

You’ll find more details about how we can help you on our website.

If you can think of any way that we can help you more, then please do let us know. Have a word with a member of staff at the counter or complete our online comments form.
