Reading lists
Check your Canvas module for a link to 'My Reading List', a reading list system at St George's which help you find books, chapters, journal articles and other resources recommended by your course teams to support your studies.
Print books
To find a print book in the library, you will need to take note of the book’s call number, which will be listed in the item record in Hunter. This will be a series of letters and numbers which correspond with the location of the book on the shelves. The call number will be listed on the spine of the book.
Use the self-service machines in the library to borrow books.
Print journals
Most of our journals are available electronically.
Back issues of our print collection are located in the silent study. These issues are reference only.
You can search all of the journals we subscribe to using Hunter. For more in-depth literature searching, use our databases. In the A-Z databases listyou will find a range of specialist search platforms such as OvidSP and EBSCOhost, as well as evidence-based point of care tools and the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub for NHS staff.
If you have checked Hunter and our A-Z journals list and haven’t been able to find the book or journal that you are looking for, you may be able to source the item yourself from another library.
You can also request the item from another library using our interlibrary loans service.
