Librarians' collaboration

Librarians can use this page to find out more about:

Supporting other librarians

Staff at the CSP Library and Information Service (LIS) are always pleased to hear from other health information / library staff who are supporting physiotherapists, physiotherapy assistants, and students studying physiotherapy. If we can be of assistance in helping with physiotherapy-related enquiries, then please do get in touch.

If you would like to visit the CSP Learning Resource Centre to take a look at our resources, and meet a member of the library team to discuss supporting physiotherapy as a subject area, then please call 020 7306 6666 or send an email to make an appointment.

Library-to-library photocopying

The CSP Information Service is able to supply photocopies to other libraries. This service is provided on the assumption that you are in possession of a correctly completed copyright declaration form for the request.

You will need to provide:

  • Your British Library No,
  • A unique order number for each item required
  • Your postal address
  • A contact phone number
  • And the full details of the item required

The charge for this service is £5.00 per copy and reimbursement is made via your British Library DSC account, a small handling charge will be added by BL.

CSP Library and Information Bulletin

The LIS team produces a ‘Library and Information Bulletin’, which originated as a response to a number of librarians asking to be kept up-to-date with developments in physiotherapy information sources. The bulletin is published three times a year, April, August and December, and is accessible via the Library and Information Bulletin section of the CSP website.

If you want to receive an email to inform you that a new issue of the bulletin has been posted on the CSP website, then please enquiries@csp.org.uk (and call the subject of the email ‘Library and Information Bulletin’); we will then add you to our mailing list. We also use this mailing list to email offers of publications and journal back issues we do not require. All your details will be managed in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998).

Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions Gateway (Intute)

Intute is a key resource for locating quality internet resources relating to physiotherapy, or other allied health professions. LIS supports Intute by occasionally suggesting online physiotherapy content to evaluate and catalogue for the site. For further information please refer to the Intute website.
