Wellcome Images

The Wellcome Images website is a searchable database of images from the collection of the Wellcome Library in the UK.

It contains high quality images categorised under the subjects Wellcome, War, Wonderful, Witchcraft, Wellness and World. The medical images which I have viewed are of high resolution and offer great detail.

The website can be viewed at:

We have over 80 current print journal titles. These include core clinical journals such as The Lancet, BMJ and New England Journal of Medicine. Other titles include Clinical Nursing Research, Journal of Orthopaedic Science, Journal of Neurosurgery and the Journal of Clinical Microbiology.

Who are we? Where are we?

I thought I should let you know a bit about the Clinical Library team. We are Ian, Irene, Mariola and Katrina and in total the four of us have 76 years of library experience! Ian is the Clinical Librarian and has been so for the last 9 years. Irene has worked in this library the longest (14 years) closely followed by Mariola (13 years). I am the new kid on the block having only been at Clin since February this year. During the evening and at the weekend Trevor, Donna, Beth or Jodi will be able to assist you.

We conduct classes to develop skills to effectively search for information across many platforms including electronic resources, such as databases, evidence based medical resources and the Internet.

If you need help locating a document or navigating your way through an assignment question we have plenty of experience to draw on to assist you.

Our library is available for use by UTAS staff and students, RHH staff including doctors, nurses and allied health professionals and students from other universities within the Libraries Australia Group.

The Albert Baikie Clinical Library is situated on the Ground Floor of the UTAS Clinical School in Collins Street. We are open Monday -Thursday 8.30am - 8pm, Friday 8.30am - 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 1 - 5pm.
