Medical Library, University of Cambridge



It is situated parallel to Addenbrooke's hospital (On the right hand side in the 1st picture).

An extensive £1 million refurbishment project is currently underway.
It is migrating from a print-based collection to a service built principally around e-resources.

At the moment, wifi is available throughout the library and all staff of Cambridge U and Addenbrooke's hospital is entitled to use the library facilities.
From my quick survey, it has most major medical journals on line.

Over the next five to ten years the Medical Library is therefore planning the phased removal of all the printed journals housed on its upper floor.

The Wolfson Room has 30 computers which give access to the Cam Domain. All have Office, Internet, Adobe etc etc. You need your Library Card number to set up a username and password.

SPSS is available on 4 computers.

Printing is available - B&W - 5p per sheet.
Photostating is 10p per A4 page.

Please contact me if you have any articles that you need.

Hi Dr. Chow,

Is SPSS as for medical research?
I thought it's for social studies only.
