Journals’ Tables of Content Service (ToCS) from Worcestershire Health Libraries

Journals’ Tables of Content Service (ToCS) from Worcestershire Health Libraries

This is an easy way to bring our printed journals to your workplace if visiting a library is difficult:
We email you a scan of the Table of Contents (ToC) from a journal:
• You have a look to see if there are any articles of interest and email us your requests (up to a maximum of 2 per issue)
• We scan the article(s) back to you
It’s as simple as that!
Here is a list of the journals that we keep in our libraries.  If you would like to receive the ToC of any of these, please contact me and we will do the rest!

Six Book Challenge Reminder

Six Book Challenge 2014
 
20th January 2014 – 30th June 2014
 
With only a month to go until the Six Book Challenge ends we would like to remind anyone who has joined but not completed to read your six books and pop your reading diary into one of the Worcestershire Health Libraries to ensure you are entered into the prize drawers.

It isn’t too late to join! Just ask in your local health library to sign up and away you go.


The Challenge invites you to pick six reads and record your reading in a diary in order to get a certificate and the chance to enter both a national prize draw to win a trip to London or Kobo e-readers as well as local prize draws.       
You can read anything you like in print or online - books, magazine articles, websites, whatever suits you.
To get you started, Worcestershire public libraries have loaned a community collection of titles to the health libraries at Worcester, Evesham, Redditch & Kidderminster Hospitals.

Journal A-Z - Athens login now required


Our Journals A-Z now requires Athens login before you can search for content.  In the past our listing was openly available on the internet.  Athens login was only required when clicking through to subscription content.

By securing the whole site behind Athens we are able to make local usernames/passwords more readily available to you and some technical issues with searching and incorrect linking can be resolved.

Please note, our Journals A-Z is still available to view without logging on from our Intranet pages.  


Go to the following and click on https://auth.athensams.net/?ath_returl=%22http%3a%2f%2fatoz.ebsco.com%2fAuthentication%2fProcessAthensResponse%2f3081%22&ath_dspid=EBSCO

Athens login or a local username/password login will still be required in most cases on the publisher’s website before you can view fulltext content.
