Library Services
Our medical libraries jointly support research, learning and clinical activities at UCL and at our partner NHS Trusts. The Cruciform Hub and the Royal Free Hospital Medical Library lead on service provision for the Divisions and Institutes of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, including the UCL Medical School. The Division of Surgery & Interventional Science is also supported by the Institute of Orthopaedics Library at the Stanmore Campus.
Library staff can advise you on searching for literature to use in your academic work and we can help you to find the full text of books, articles, or other publications. We can provide advice on referencing and on using reference management software, like EndNote, to add citations and references to your written work. The library also offers research support in areas such as open access, UCL's Research Publications Service, bibliometrics, and research data management.
