Opening Hours
Registering to use the Hospital LibraryRegistration normally takes place during your Portsmouth library induction. You do need to register separately with SMH library to obtain a NHS library card by filling out a registration form in the Library. Identification will be required in the form of your BUL ID card. Registration may take 24 hours. Borrowing - Hospital LibraryHow do I find books in the Library? In the Library there is a printed guide called "Where to find books on a subject", which will tell you the shelf mark for the books on the subject you are interested in. The shelf mark scheme is different from that of the University, but will be explained to you during your induction. Use the Library Catalogue, which is on computer in the Library, to find specific books. Details of the books and journals in the hospital library can be found on the SWIMS How long can I borrow items for? The loan period will be shown in the item. The standard loan period for books is 28 days, but some more popular books and videos have a shorter borrowing period of two weeks or less. There is a limit to the number of times an item can be renewed. Books borrowed directly from SMH can be renewed online via SWIMS. Renewals need to be made with the library from which you originally borrowed the item. What if my book is overdue or has been recalled? Fines are payable for the late return of items. A loans ban will also come into operation when items are overdue. You can renew most items on or before the date due, provided no-one else requires them. An item may be recalled for another reader after the initial loan period even if it has been renewed. How do I find out what items I have out on loan? Ask a member of the Library staff to check for you (you will need your NHS Library card). Please do not pass on material you have borrowed to someone else. You are responsible for it until it is returned to the library. What do I do if I'm going on placement or on holiday? It is your responsibility to ensure that items are returned or renewed prior to going away. If the due date is whilst you are away you will need to contact SMH Library by telephone or letter to renew the items. If another reader requires an item or your have renewed it the maximum number of times, you will need to make arrangements to return it to the library. Where do I return books? Books borrowed directly from SMH or obtained for you by SMH Library on inter library loan from BUL should be returned to the SMH Library Issue desk. What if someone else has the book I want? You can reserve it. You will be informed when it is available for collection. How does the library keep in touch with me? Mainly via post to your home address. Library IT FacilitiesYou can use the NHS computers in the library. Finding HelpYou will receive an induction from hospital library staff and may ask for assistance during staffed hours. Library and IT sessions timetabled by Bournemouth University staff are important to attend, as they are designed to give you the skills to carry out research for your assignments. To complement these sessions, one-to-one Subject Advice appointments can be arranged with your University Subject Librarian at certain times during the year; you will be advised by e-mail of the available dates. For help using resources on the University Library web pages, contact your HSC subject support library team. Alternatively, you can ring Bournemouth University Library Enquiries on (01202) 965959.
