Document supply service and
literature search service
Article requests
College members may request free photocopied pages from
items held in the College journal or book collection. Non-members
are charged per article unless they have arranged day access.
Articles from outside our collection
Articles from outside our collection can be obtained through
various inter-library arrangements. A small administrative
charge is made for this service and we request that a copyright
declaration form be signed in advance for each document
requested.
Please see
charges for
further information.
Book requests
Books held in the College library may be borrowed by members.
There is no charge for College library books being posted to
you.
Books not held in the College library can be interloaned from
another library. There is a small administrative charge made to
interloan books.
To request a book held in the library or one to be
interloaned, please email the
library.
Literature searches
Members are entitled to free literature searches.
Literature searches are undertaken using the following
databases:
Medline (1966-)
PsycInfo (1887-)
Embase Psychiatry (last 10 years)
Embase Neuroscience (last 10 years)
HMIC databases (database from the King's Fund and the
Department of Health)
Free Medline
Alternatively, Medline can be found free
at
European PubMed Central or
National Library of Medicine. Medline
is produced by the National Library of Medicine in the USA, and it
indexes and abstracts thousands of health related articles
published in learned journals.
Payment and charges
Payment can be made in advance, or we will send you an
invoice. Payment can be made by cheque or credit card. Cheques
should be made payable to The Royal College of
Psychiatrists and returned to the Library and Information
Services department.
