To make it easier and faster for you to use our services, we have introduced several online forms. Access these forms below and use them to contact us or use our services.

Library Registration: Join the library and you can borrow books from our collection. If we don't have the book you need, you can request it from another library or suggest we buy it using the other forms available (for CDDFT staff and students only). 

Literature Search Request: When you need information to support your studies, professional development or research our librarians can help, by carrying out a detailed literature search for you. Use this form to tell them about the topics you are interested in. (For CDDFT staff and students only).

Current Awareness Bulletins: sign up for this service and you will be sent regular email bulletins, which provide brief details of recently published articles on the topics you select. This will give you a broad overview of the latest news and developments. And if there are any articles you would like to see in full, you can request them through the library.

Knowledgeshare: is a more personalised current awareness service. It also provides you with regular, personalised email bulletins, with details of the latest articles relevant to your specialist area. This will connect you directly to the latest evidence on a regular basis, without swamping you with less relevant information. And if there are any articles you would like to see in full, you can request them through the library.

Alerts & updates from Organisations: Complete this form and we can arrange for you to receive regular alerts produced by a variety of organisations, as listed on the form.

Inter Library Loans Request: Use this form to request journal articles that are not available through our e-Resources (this service is for CDDFT staff and students only).

Book Request: The book you want is available on the catalogue, but it is at another NE NHS library. No problem, just use this form to request it.

Book Suggestion: If there is a book that you think we should have in the library, you can suggest it using this form. If we agree with your suggestion we will order it and let you know when it has been added to stock.

Out of Hours Access Request (for DMH Library only): If you are a member of clinical staff or a student based at DMH you can get access to the library there even when it is closed. Complete this form to request out of hours access. A returnable fee is required for the swipe card you are issued with when joining this service.

Comments, Questions and Suggestions: Are we doing well? Could we do better? Use this form to share your comments, questions and suggestions with us and help us to improve the library services we provide.
