The library at LSTM
We provide a wide range of resources to support your studies and research, as well as different types of study spaces, computers, plus multiple ways of requesting help.
There has been a library at LSTM since its earliest years. LSTM's Nobel Prize winner, Ronald Ross donated some books of his own to form the nucleus of the collection at the turn of the century. Today, our primary aim is to support LSTM staff and students in all areas of their study and research.
We also welcome independent researchers and visitors.
Library access
The physical library is now open 24/7 for studying with library staffing the issue desk Monday to Friday 0900-1700.
Access to the print collections is also available whilst the library is staffed. We also continue to offer a fully online service.
We are open again to SCONUL users and other external visitors by appointment (please see our Contact details at the bottom of the page to arrange a visit).
Library resources
We provide access to specialist databases containing academic research, including the Web of Science, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, Global Health, Global Health Archive, Altmetrics and SciVal. Additionally, we have an extensive collection of resources, including ebooks, journals and print books.
All databases and resources can be accessed via our Discover portal.
