Library Loans
As a full BDA member you are able to use our postal loan service and borrow up to eight items from us at any one time. These could be books, pamphlets, packages of articles of AV material. Most are loaned for one month and can be renewed as long as another member has not reserved them. Items can be reserved on our online catalogue or you can email us or telephone to request them. Please note that we do not loan items to undergraduate student members. Ebooks are available for all categories of BDA member to read and can be accessed through the library catalogue.
Requested items are posted out to members free and the only charge involved is in posting items back to us. You can of course simply drop them in to us during opening hours or drop them in the box at the top of the steps outside the building when we are closed.
Most of our collection covers clinical dental subjects and if you are interested in the latest books that we have by subject then please look at our latest ten by subject page.
We are always very interested to hear what you thought of any of the books/DVDs/packages that you borrowed and you can now review these on our online catalogue or, if you prefer, fill out the "Write a review" document below and send it back to us and we will add it to the catalogue record.
Online catalogue
Our complete catalogue is available online to search and reserve items to be posted out to you. The catalogue also allows you to search references to articles in various journals not indexed on Medline including BDA News. There is also an option to look at new items that have arrived and manage your own borrower record.
