Printed Journals

Printed journals are for reference only and may not be borrowed. Click here to view a list of our printed journal holdings. Printed journals are stored in three locations:

Current issues:

Current issues are shelved on display units next to the comfy seating area. They are arranged in alphabetical order by journal title. The latest issues can be found on the sloping display shelves. Further issues from the current year are stored behind the hinged display shelves.

Back issues:

Back issues published within the last ten years are stored on the main library shelves. They are arranged in alphabetical order according to journal title.

Archive collection:

Issues published over ten years ago are kept in our basement. Library members can order photocopies of articles from this collection. Please complete an archive collection request form for each article or email LH.library@nhs.net with your references.

The charge for this service is 5p per page. Please allow 24 hours for requests to be processed. Please allow longer for a large number of requests.

Interlibrary Loans

Staff, with the exception of bank staff and volunteers, can request articles held in other libraries. Please complete an article request form for each item. Please note that you must join the library before you can order items. Photocopies of articles will normally be sent to your department. Please notify library staff if you prefer to collect your requests from the library. You should allow a minimum of 7 working days for articles to arrive. A large number of requests may take longer to process. Charges may apply to some requests.

The Librarian’s discretion may be used to limit the number of requests made by any one individual, particularly if the requests require photocopies from those libraries that attract heavy charges.
