UMDS INFORMATION AND LIBRARY SERVICES
There are four directly managed libraries, the Wills Medical and FS
Warner Dental Libraries at Guy's Hospital, and the Medical School and
Institute of Dermatology Libraries at St Thomas' Hospital. Information
and Library Services (ILS) have a staff of 23, subscribe to nearly
1,000 journals and have a stock of 45,000 books. They have a registered
user population of 4,000 and serve primarily the academic staff and
students of the School, but also provide services to the staff of Guy's
and St Thomas' Hospital Trusts as well as to other user groups.
In addition to an excellent medical collection, access to electronic
information has a high priority and the two campuses are networked, with
Medline, EMBASE, ISI's Citation Indexes, CINAHL, electronic journals
and the library catalogue accessible over the network. At present, ILS
use the Libertas Library Management System in conjunction with King's
College London and this will be replaced with the Aleph system during
1998. ILS are part of the South Thames Regional co-operative scheme.
