About us
The library has quiet and group study areas.
There are 14 computers available for library users, including NHS staff, connected to the university network. We have 2 colour printer-copiers for A4 or A3 paper. These can also scan to email. Imperial College London WiFi is available to all registered Library users.
Next to the library is a computer cluster with an additional 62 computers and 2 colour printer-copiers accessible to all registered Library users with a swipe card. NHS users requiring swipe access please email cxissuedesk@imperial.ac.uk.
Our seating, and the number of computers available, is currently reduced because of social distancing within the library and PC cluster.
Our collection covers general medicine, including medical textbooks, as well as nursing and professions allied to medicine. We also have a small collection of non-clinical titles.
Most journals are now available electronically but we also have some print journals from 1990 onwards on out shelves.
Special collections
The archive collections of Charing Cross Hospital (1818-1974) and the Charing Cross Hospital Medical School / Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School (1823-1997) are at the Central Library.
You can find listings of items in these collections on the AIM25 database
