Services

Many people think that the library service does little more than lend books or provide a place to read journals. OHFT librarians however can do far more than this, actively supporting research by offering training in literature searching, critical appraisal and referencing and performing literature searches for busy clinicians and managers.

On-site services include computing facilities, areas for quiet study, group study rooms and access to expert library staff to help with general and detailed enquiries, sourcing of journal articles and books.

Access to Oxford Health Libraries from June 2020

Due to restrictions related to Covid-19, the library service is still mainly operating remotely.

However library staff will now be available in the libraries at Littlemore, Warneford and Whiteleaf to answer enquiries at designated times. Please contact library.enquiries@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk for further information if required.
