Libraries
Welcome to the Libraries homepage
Trainee responses in the 2011 GMC National Training Survey rated Wales as best in the UK for access to libraries for the second year running!
Libraries are located in each of the major hospitals in Wales and aim to provide the best possible level of service to support patient care, education, training and research.
Each library provides an extensive range of services including:
- Book and journal collections both in print and electronically
- Web based Voyager Library catalogue
- Access to the NHS Wales e-Library for health via Athens login
- Interlibrary document supply
- Inter-site lending and return of books
- Photocopying facilities
- Networked PCs and printers
- Enquiry service
- Information skills training both individually and in groups
- Assistance with literature searching and systematic literature reviews
- Advice on copyright
Please contact your local library for further information and how to join.
In addition to these local and national services, all trainees are registered with a Cardiff University network account which allows access to the University eLibrary and databases via the University portal: http://portal.cardiff.ac.uk
Cardiff University and NHS Wales hospital libraries work together in the AWHILES partnership which underpins the health library service in NHS Wales.
