Books

The Library Catalogue is called Heritage. It lists books that are held at both the Southport and the Ormskirk library sites. It also includes a growing collection of e-books.

Library members can borrow up to 12 books and the loan period is 4 weeks.

If the book you want is held at the other hospital site we can have it sent across to the library on your site for collection. Just let us know.

If we don't have the book that you are looking for, we also offer an interlibrary loan service. We can borrow the book that you require on your behalf from another library.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
