Finding Books
The Library at Queen’s holds a wide range of books that are relevant for courses being undertaken in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Print books and electronic books (ebooks) can be located using the library catalogue on the library homepage.
Print books
Most of the relevant print books can be found in the Biomedical Library in the Medical Biology Centre (MBC) or the Medical Library on the Royal Victoria Hospital site. Books can be transferred between libraries so if you would like to request a book from one location to collect in another branch, please use the request facility on the library catalogue or ask a member of staff. You can also return books to any Queen's Library. More information on books can be found on the following page:
