Borrowing - Hospital Library

As a current Bournemouth University HSC student, you may borrow up to 8 books for 4 weeks, and renew them twice as long as they have not been reserved by someone else. Renewals can be in person, by phone or by email. When the Hospital Library is closed, books may be left in the secure book return bin in the Library.

No fines are charged, but items not returned within 3 months after reminders will be charged for, with an additional administration fee.

Please do not pass on material you have borrowed to someone else. You are responsible for it until it is returned to the Library.

Finding help

You will also receive an induction from your Hospital librarian and may ask the Library staff for assistance.

It is important to attend your timetabled university IT and library sessions, as they are designed to give you the skills to carry out research for your assignments. To complement these sessions, you can arrange subject advice on a one-to-one basis at either Bournemouth House Library or St Mary's Hospital, Portsmouth through your Subject Support Library team.

Any enquiries concerning the resources on the Bournemouth University Library web pages should be address to the HSC subject support library team. Alternatively, you can ring Bournemouth University Library Enquiries on (01202) 965959.

NHS Athens account

As a Bournemouth University student on an NHS-related course, each year you will automatically be sent an email enabling you to register for an NHS Athens account. This will allow you to access a collection of library e-resources purchased by the NHS, via the ‘Journals and Databases' section of NHS Evidence. If your activation code has expired or you have forgotten your username or password please contact mfoy@bournemouth.ac.uk .

If you have created an NHS Athens Account via your hospital library you should direct all Athens-related queries to that hospital library.

Bournemouth University - Inter Library Loans - journal articles

Final year pre-registration or post-registration students who are working on projects may also request articles found on other databases/sources.

Before making a request, check that the journal you require is not available in the Hospital Library or via the University Library's A-Z list of e-journals. If it is not, fill out one Inter Library Loan form for each request and then have your tutor countersign it.

Inter Library Loan forms can be obtained from the hospital library staff, or, alternatively, if you cannot get to the hospital library, an online version of the request form is available from the inter library loans information page. It will need to be printed out, signed at section A and by your tutor and posted to the Bournemouth House Library, Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, BH1 3LH. If you require articles to be posted to you, make sure you include your full postal address.

Full information about Bournemouth University Inter-Library Loans service can be found at http://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/library/using_the_library/ill.html
