Services & Facilities

The Smallwood Library offers a wide variety of services and features  

Books

Smallwood Library users have access to over 80,000 publications across BASE Network.  We also hold a collection of fiction titles available to read at your leisure. Items can even be sent to your workplace. Visit the Library Catalogue to reserve or renew items.  Should you require a book not held within BASE, we can usually source it for you from the British Library. BL loans require a payment of £20. If you have a title you would like to recommend for us to include in our collection, let us know.  

Journals

Access to thousands of online journals are provided through the NICE Evidence website. Access is using your NHS OpenAthens account (see below to sign up for an account if you don’t already have one).

Articles can be requested using our online service BaseDoc. Register for an account using your library card details. You can then submit requests at any time from any internet connected device, and also track your request progress and history.

Smallwood Library can carry out literature searches on your behalf, where you will be able to select the articles you need from a list of abstracts. We also offer assisted searches, where you sit with us while we conduct the search with you (this is a requirement for college/university assignment searches). Submit your search on our online system BaseDoc.
