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.
COVID-19 update
(Updated May 2021)
The recent easing of national restrictions has allowed the Library to reopen providing access to limited study spaces (for opening hours see below) and a Click & Collect service for print materials.
We will continue to monitor Government guidelines and look to resume other services and extend opening further when it is safe to do so.
We still encourage people to make use of online resources, such as eBooks and journals (off-campus access instructions).
Please email the Library team if you have any questions.
Library access
The physical library is now open Monday-Friday 1100-1500 for staff and students. We also continue to offer a fully online service.
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic we currently remain closed to external visitors.
Library resources
Our extensive collection of resources, including ebooks, journals, print books and databases, such as the Web of Science and Pub Med, can all be accessed via our Discover portal.
