Online resources
Whilst many good quality resources are freely available, most full-text journals and the main biblio-
graphic databases (e.g. Medline and CINAHL) require an Athens username and password. To regis-
ter for an Athens login go to www.athens.nhs.uk or www.evidence.nhs.uk
The Library web pages contain detailed information about library services and training opportunities,
online request and registration forms and several guides on key online resources and evidence-
based websites at www.heftlibrary.nhs.uk
