New Books and E-books for January

The New Books List for January is now ready.

This month, along with the usual paper acquisitions, we have purchased a bundle of Wiley E-books. These will be available via NewhamCat, directly from on-site or with your local NHS Athens log-in from home.

They include a variety of titles, from the heavyweight 3-volume Textbook of Hepatology to smaller items such as Getting started in health research. The package also includes key texts, for example Swanton's cardiology and
Examination of the newborn.

To access these titles, search for the title on NewhamCat. Click on your result, then scroll down to click on the online link given. On the next page, scroll down to find the PDF links to each chapter.

Check the list to see all 100 new titles, in both paper and ebook format.
