E-books – Free Trial

The Gosall Library has arranged a free trial with McGraw Hill for LSCFT staff and students to access their Mental Health Education Reading List Collection.  The trial is available until the end of June.

The Reading List Collection from McGraw Hill and Open University Press have been created to help provide easy access to the core textbooks and recommended reading your students need to be successful on their courses.

Within these collections, we offer a wide range of titles that should give your students the confidence they need to master and learn all they need to in their area of study.  We are currently offering five collections covering

  • Psychology, counselling & psychotherapy,
  • Nursing,
  • Social Work,
  • Education & Study,
  • Writing and Research Skills.

As this is a free trial we would be very interested to hear your feedback.  If you have any comments (positive or negative) please let us know at academic.library@lancashirecare.nhs.uk
