The RCOT Library and Information Service is going digital.
Our Library has been digital only since March 2020 when we closed the physical Library space due to the pandemic. Since then, you’ve used our Library’s digital resources over 200,000 times.
We’ve decided to keep the physical Library space closed and provide an entirely digital Library service. Enjoy 24/7 access, 365 days a year from wherever you are. Use our ever-growing collection of digital resources to support your practice, learning, research and development. This includes e-books, online journals, e-theses and databases.
In our 2019/20 Library survey, you shared that you want more digital resources and better access. And that’s what we’re doing with our digital Library.
You can now:
- Enjoy our Library from across the UK and world at times that work for you.
- Browse our list of online journals and read full-text articles.
- Search for journal articles on the CINAHL and Medline databases.
- Read e-books and online PhD dissertations via our Library catalogue search.
- Find support using our resources with our information skills guides.
- Contact our Library team for support at library@rcot.co.uk.
We’re now looking for homes for the books and print resources. This includes connecting with other libraries to offer them our resources. We’re also keeping a reserve collection of RCOT (and COT) materials that we hope to digitise in the future. For now, these materials won’t be available for access.
Start using our Library today.
Our Library team is here to support you using our digital resources and services. They are available 9am–5pm, Monday–Friday. You can contact the team at library@rcot.co.uk.
