You can conduct your own literature searches on a range of databases, either from your workplace, or from home. Click here to see the list of databases and to connect to them. You will need your Athens username and password to search the databases.

If you would like to improve your literature searching skills, do not hesitate to ask a librarian for help, or join us on one of our training courses on Information Skills.

Registered library users can ask library staff to carry out searches for them. There is no charge for this service, although there may be charges for any articles requested as a result of the search. To request a literature search please complete the Literature Search Request form.

We regret that we are not able to do full scale searches for student members of the library, but we will give assistance with search techniques, where possible.

To request an article through the library please complete the Article Request form.

Please contact the library on 01253 303831 or library.services@bfwhospitals.nhs.uk for further information
