Print collections

Fiona Stanley Hospital Library has a small collection of print books. Royal Perth Hospital Library has both print books and journals.  

Books from either site are available to staff across the South and East Metropolitan Health Services.

Loans

• Print books can be loaned for a period of six weeks and will be automatically renewed once for a further period of six weeks if not required for another borrower.
• Books must be sighted by library staff before being borrowed beyond one renewal.
• Register to borrow/request to borrow books.

Library clients also have access to any WA Health Library and their print book collections - either by reciprocal borrowing or request via inter-library loan.

• See WA Health libraries catalogue link.

Returns

Items can be returned directly to the either Library during opening hours, or after hours via the after hours return chutes.

• RPH has a external returns chute in the corridor outside the Library (down the corridor away from the front door) and FSH has a returns box in the Library space for after hours returns.  At FSH swipe card access is needed for entry.
• Items can also be returned via internal mail.

Fines and replacement costs

The Library does not issue fines for late returns but invoices will be sent for books not returned after notices have been sent and attempts to call have not resulted in books being returned. The invoice will cover replacement costs and an administration fee.
 

Online collection

An extensive online collection of books and journals is available.
