Pssst - wanna buy some surgical journal articles?
The Royal College of Surgeons of England Library has just launched a
shiny new web-based form for Institutional Members to use to request
article photocopies from journals held in our collections. This doesn't
*just* make requesting material very straightforward for those using it
- because the request details are now transferred directly into our
document delivery database, we no longer have to spend valuable time
re-entering information. And that means that we can offer Institutional
Members very competitive prices...
Standard service article requests submitted via the new web form are
charged at £2.00 per article (£1.70 plus VAT). Effectively, this means
that those Institutional Members who use the web form for requests will
still be paying 2001 prices - given the changes in document delivery
prices elsewhere (he says tactfully...), we think this represents pretty
impressive value for money!
Library Institutional Membership is open to any library/information
service in the NHS, public, academic, charitable and independent sectors
in the UK and Ireland. Members can take advantage of one of the UK's
foremost surgical/medical collections - we already act as major provider
of journal articles (the library currently takes over 300 journal
titles, many covering highly specialised aspects of surgery, as well as
some 3000 non-current periodicals), books and videos to a wide range of
medical libraries.
Want to know more? Membership for a year costs just £70.50 (£60 plus
VAT); details of entitlements can be found on the College website at
http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/services/library/about/membership_html, from
where you can also find out about our holdings and full details of all
our document delivery services. Alternatively, feel free to contact our
Document Delivery team on 020 7869 6511 or e-mail [log in to unmask]
So if your trainees, consultants, researchers, whoever, need articles
about cutting people up, talk to us - don't pay an arm and a leg...
