The Health Sciences Library at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital is holding a photography competition with the aim of displaying the winning entries in the silent study room.  This room is windowless and we would like to make it a more pleasant working environment.  

Therefore, if you are a current student in the Faculty of medicine Dentistry and Health and a current Health Sciences Library - RHH user, please submit up to three images on the topic of “bringing the outside in” by 10 of June 2013.  

Be as creative as you can within this broad subject area.  

You should all have received an e-mail about the competition.  Please refer to this for how to enter and our terms and conditions of entry.  If you would like to receive these again please call into the Health Sciences Library - Royal Hallamshire Hospital and pick up a flier or ask at the desk! 

We look forward to receiving your entries!

Library Refurb

As part of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health's Medical School redevelopment, the Health Sciences Library (HSL) at RHH is being refurbished, and the work is now well under way.  The journal archives and non-core reading materials have been relocated to Western Bank Library and the study space area blocked off. The main entrance and service point however are still in use and will continue to be throughout the refurbishment period (April-September), along with 5,000 core titles that will be still be immediately accessible for customers.

To keep up-to-date with all the latest developments you can follow the Faculty's blog or hear the latest news via their twitter account, @SheffUniMDH. There's also lots of information on the Library webpages including details on where to go for alternative study space and IT facilities.

It's a really exciting time for the Library and the Faculty and we're working hard to make sure we minimize the disruption during this period. We'll see you in the new HSL this September!
