Resource guides and online bibliographies

The Wellcome Library has produced a number of resource guides that provide an introduction to a range of topics and highlight relevant resources held in the Library.

The online bibliographies contain a selected list of references to books, reports and articles held by the Wellcome Library, as well as links to recommended web resources.

In addition, the list includes the guides created for some of the public Library workshops, run regularly to help users discover and exploit various library resources. The workshop guides are indicated by the words "Library workshop".

The Library has also produced a number of sources leaflets and supplementary handlists to help readers identify resources from our Archives and Manuscripts collection.
