Library Locations

There are various Library locations across the QUB campus:

You can use any of these locations but the books and journals most relevant to your subject will be found in the Biomedical Library. 

For help with developing academic skills

The Learning Development Service (LDS) at Queen's provides support and workshops on various academic skills.

Welcome to the Pharmacy LibGuide

This guide is designed to help you find and use the library resources most useful for your subject or research. As your Subject Librarian, I am available to provide:

  • advice on searching for and locating library resources.
  • training on using specific databases relevant to pharmacy, including MEDLINE and Embase.
  • assistance in building a literature search.
  • support with using EndNote reference management software.

Please use the tabs above to navigate this LibGuide.  If you have any questions at all, please get in touch.  I can meet via Microsoft Teams or in-person if you have any questions or need assistance in getting started with Library resources.   Remember, many library resources, including e-books, e-journals and databases, are available to you online, on or off-campus. 

Although I am based at the Medical Library, I am more than happy to visit all Queen's University sites as required.
