There are a number of library catalogues that you can search to locate books, journals and other material held at LSHTM Library, and also at other libraries nearby. There are also some federated catalogues which allow you to search across a number of libraries at once. Catalogue Quick Links
LSHTM Library CataloguesOnline CatalogueThe Library's online catalogue is simply called the
Library
Catalogue. You should use it to search for journals and report series
(but you should also check the Report Series findings list), books and
pamphlets published from 1970 onwards, MSc Dissertations and PhD Theses
from 1990 onwards. Some material published before 1970 is included,
but you should rely on the printed catalogue described below to find
this earlier material. Electronic resources can be accessed directly
from the WebCat record.
You can also use the Library Catalogue to renew books (User Services link) or to place holds (Request link). The User Services and Request links can be found at the top of the screen once you have connected to the Library Catalogue. For help searching the Library Catalogue click here. If you need material earlier than 1970 you need to use the printed catalogue kept in the Enquiries Desk area, which lists material going back as far as the 16th century. If you need a book published earlier than 1970 ask the Library staff at the Enquiries Desk and it will be fetched for you from the basement stacks or other closed access area. Material from the basement is collected daily at 11.30am and 4.30pm. There is a maximum limit of five items per user per collection. The collection includes some rare books and manuscripts which cannot be removed from the Library. Links to the catalogues of other libraries nearby can be found below. |
