When the library is not staffed, volumes should be returned through the letterbox located in the wall near to the library counter. Readers will be required to meet the cost of replacement of any item which is lost or damaged whilst on loan to them. Inter-Library Loans Members of the library may apply for items to be borrowed from other libraries. This covers books and photocopies of articles. There is a charge for each item requested, which is usually deducted from the appropriate departmental or unit fund.
Relevant forms are available from the library counter.
Requests for items should be written on cards available from the library staff and should be as complete as possible. For journal articles, it may be possible to get full details from Medline , Cinahl or Web of Science . For books, bibliographic details may be available in the National Library of Medicine Web Catalogue, or the BMA Library. These pages are maintained by John Clarke .
