Library Services for Bank

Resources include approximately 3300 books, some print journals and access to items from other NHS libraries through our inter-library loans service.

All bank staff are eligible to join the library and get an entry code for out-of-hours access.

Books, journals and e-resources

• Online library catalogue – Browse the catalogue as a ‘guest’, or library members can renew online, reserve books and view a record of previously borrowed items.
• NHS Knowledge and Library Hub – ebooks, ejournals, bibliographic databases (including Medline, Embase, CINAHL and BNI) and the clinical decision support tool BMJ Best Practice. Self-register for an NHS Open Athens account at openathens.nice.org.uk
• Browzine.com – View ejournals by clicking on “choose my library” and select “The Hillingdon Hospitals…” as the “home library”, then enter an NHS OpenAthens username and password to access full articles.
• NHS Knowledge and Library Hub Journals A-Z – Browse print and ejournals (login with NHS OpenAthens account)
• Bank staff can also visit the Library’s intranet page from devices on the Trust network, for details of services and resources.

Internet and intranet access
