The library now offers ResearcherID drop-in clinics to support researchers who wish to create a ResearcherID profile. ResearcherID is a freely available website which enables you to create a personalised online research profile, including a list of your publications, your h-index and other bibliometric data.

UCL Discovery launched
UCL Eprints has been transformed into UCL Discovery, which showcases UCL's research publications, giving access to journal articles, book chapters, conference proceedings, digital web resources, theses and much more, from all UCL disciplines.
UCL Research Publications Service (RPS)
The UCL Research Publications Service (RPS) is the new way for UCL researchers to manage their publications, available at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/research/publications. It helps you to keep an up-to-date and complete list of your publications with the minimum of effort, and use it for personal profiles, H-index calculations, grant submissions, promotion applications, research assessments, etc. It also allows you to easily upload the full text of your publications to UCL Discovery (formerly UCL E-Prints).
Do you want to find out how to make best use of the new service? Then come to a hands-on practical session at the Royal Free Medical Library where you can explore the RPS and ask questions.
Sessions will be held in the Library’s Training & Electronic Study Area (TESA) on the following dates:
Thursday 11 November 14.30 – 15.30
Wednesday 17 November 10.00 – 11.00
Friday 26 November 11.00 – 12.00
Wednesday 8 December 12.00 – 13.00
Thursday 16 December 13.00 - 14.00
Please contact Ruth Muscat on ext 34791 or email info.skills@medsch.ucl.ac.uk if you wish to attend one of the above sessions.

Library closure for refurbishment
Friday 20 August - Friday 17 September
Temporary reception point during refurbishment closure
The Royal Free Hospital Medical Library is closed for essential entrance refurbishment works and is due to re-open on 20 September (the date has been extended slightly to accommodate overrunning works). Library staff can still be contacted by email.
A temporary reception point is in operation, offering limited services, 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. It is situated in the foyer at the entrance to the Medical School Administration corridor, near the Rowland Hill Street entrance. Completed membership forms, interlibrary loan forms, store requests and search request forms for searches for the Clinical Effectiveness Enquiry Service may be handed in at the temporary reception point. Library cards can be collected, and books can be issued, renewed and reserved. Newspapers will also be available.
During the closed period library staff will offer a book and journal fetching service. This will be subject to access and may be unavailable on certain days. Request forms will be available at the reception point. Requests made before 12pm will be available by 3pm the same day. Requests made after 12pm will be available at 9am the next working day. Items will be kept at the reception point for 24 hours before being returned to the shelves.
Please note, books due back during this closed period should be returned to the red book returns box outside the lecture theatres on the ground floor (in the corridor opposite the Rowland Hill Street entrance).
We will be doing our best to maintain access to as wide a range of resources and services as possible during the temporary closure – which we hope will not cause significant inconvenience.
