New Procedure for Requesting Journal Articles

We would like to inform you of the new procedure for ordering journal articles from the Library & Knowledge Service:

1. You must first check yourself if the article is available electronically*. You can do this at http://www.library.nhs.uk/booksandjournals/journals/Default.aspx
To access the journals you must first login with your NHS Athens details.
*NB The Library will no longer email you articles that are available electronically.

Please visit the Library and Knowledge section on your Intranet for guides on how to access electronic journals.
If you need any help with this process or would like to book onto a training course please contact the Library. Contact details are available on the Library and Knowledge section of your Intranet.

2. All requests must now be submitted on a request form.
Once you have checked for your journal article and if it is not available electronically please request it via the Library by filling out a Request Form (Please see the Library & Knowledge Section on your Intranet)
You can use the online form or email us a word version of the Article Request Form.

We will appreciate your cooperation in following this new procedure. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Library.

If you would like to book onto the training course "Accessing Online Library Services", which includes accessing online journals, please contact the Library via the Library & Knowledge section on your Intranet
