Journals and library services - a member benefit

As a member you receive free access to a wide range of journal-related content and information services.

Library and Archives

The College Library is designed to support members in their day to day practise and with any research needs.

  • We provide access to a wide range of online resources via RCPsych OpenAthens accounts. You can access online journals, ebooks and databases including Medline and Embase.
  • Library staff are also very happy to provide research assistance, including one-to-one training, literature searching, and help with systematic reviews. We can also set members up on research software such as Rayyan.
  • We also have a large collection of books available to borrow, which are usually posted to members for free.
