The PCs, available for all library users including NHS staff, are connected to the Imperial College London network. We have four colour printer-copiers for A4 or A3 paper. These can also scan to email. Imperial College London Wi-Fi is available to all registered library users.
Our collection covers general medicine, including medical textbooks, as well as nursing and professions allied to medicine. We also have a collection of non-clinical and fiction titles.

The archive collections of Charing Cross Hospital (1818-1974) and the Charing Cross Hospital Medical School / Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School (1823-1997) are now held at the Abdus Salam Library.
Lists of items in these collections are on the AIM25 database.
