Opening hours
Access to Thomas Sydenham library is possible on a 24-hour basis to registered HSC students by means of a security card for which a deposit is required. See library staff for further details. Borrowing - Hospital LibraryAs a current Bournemouth University HSC student, you may borrow up to 6 books from Thomas Sydenham Library. The normal loan period is 4 weeks, but may be one or two weeks for books in heavy demand. You may renew in person, online or by phone, provided your book is not overdue, no one else has requested it and you have not renewed the same book excessively. If your books become overdue you will be sent reminders and fines may be charged. If the books are not returned you will be charged replacement costs plus administrative fees. Please do not pass on material you have borrowed to someone else. You are responsible for it until it is returned to the library. Library IT FacilitiesThere are nine computers which provide MS Office, Intranet and Internet access. You may access BU's Library Resources from Thomas Sydenham Library computers. Please note: Hospital security policies prevent you from saving work onto memory sticks. 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 when you visit the Bournemouth campus. Contact the HSC library subject support team in advance if you wish to make an appointment for a specific date/time. In addition to the above you can get information and help from the Bournemouth University Library's web pages. Alternatively, you can ring Bournemouth University Library Enquiries on (01202) 965959.
