In PubMed, click on Log in . Select Google Account (or you can select one of the other options, e.g. ORCiD or Facebook). Sign into the account that you have selected. Once you have signed in, select the option Link to an existing NCBI account. Enter your NCBI username and password Select Continue . You will now be able to sign into PubMed with your Google account (or whichever alternative account you selected) and view everything that you had previously saved.

We are pleased to announce that the GOS ICH library will be welcoming back users from 17th May 2021. The library will be offering socially distanced, pre-booked study spaces and a Click and Collect service. Users may return library items in the returns bin located by the library enquiry desk. In order to keep our staff and library users safe we are following government guidelines for higher education libraries. This means that there will be a one-way system in place in the library and a reduction of library service hours. We would therefore like to remind our users that they can only access the library to return books, take-up a pre-booked study space, or to collect a requested library materials. The library opening hours are: Monday - Friday, 10:00 - 15:00 only.    Study spaces and click and collect are available to UCL staff and students, and GOSH staff.
