Students Northumbria Library Services

Please fill in the library registration form below. We use your university smart card as your library card, so please give us the number that begins with “02”.

We have 4 libraries at North Tyneside, Wansbeck, The Northumbria (Cramlington) and Hexham Hospitals. You can find information about opening hours and how to contact us here.

The libraries all have study space, PCs and printers and a big range of books to borrow – not just medical textbooks, but also fiction and health and wellbeing books. You can borrow up to 10 books for 4 weeks and you can usually renew them if you need them for longer. Our library catalogue is shared with most of the NHS libraries in the North East. You can request any book and collect it from your local library.

Register for an NHS Athens account for access to healthcare databases (including Cinahl and Medline), online journals and other resources.

If you would like to print this information, you can download it is a leaflet.
