Library Skills@UCL for NHS

There are several ways in which NHS staff at UCL's associated NHS Trusts can access information and resources such as electronic articles, electronic books and databases.

• NHS OpenAthens - Registration is free and available to all NHS staff in England. For information about additional resources available at your local Trust, please contact your nearest UCL home library.
• NHS Knowledge and Library Hub - Effectively a portal to online library resources that are available to NHS staff with their OpenAthens account, including evidence-based resources, as well as a search engine to search across multiple resources. 
• In-library access to UCL's electronic resources - NHS library members can access the full range of licensed UCL Library Services electronic journals from dedicated computers (Explore Access Points) located within UCL libraries.
• Interlending and document supply - If unable to visit the library, NHS library members can request electronic copies of journal articles and book chapters which are normally only available onsite via the UCL Library Explore Access Points, to be emailed directly to them. If required items are not available within the UCL collections NHS library members can use our Interlending and Document Supply service to request them.
• Printed material - Don't forget that Library members are entitled to borrow printed books from any of UCL's libraries. Visit our guide to searching UCL Explore to find out how to locate print books in our libraries.
