Dear NHS employees

Any chance of 'borrowing' your Athens username and password? It allows web access to BMJ Journals, apparently, if you are in the London, South-West, Northern & Yorkshire and Trent areas. Promise I won't be naughty with it - I don't even know what Athens is...

whats a BMJ journal?

[lovingboth]

A 'British Medical Journal' journal - the BMJ is one of the main medical publications and it's spawned a number of other journals. They're online, but apart from the most recent issue, to see the full text as opposed to abstracts needs a subscription.

It turns out (and I think this is fairly recent) that some National Health Service districts have a general subscription. Just why some areas have this and not others is one of the joys of the NHS, I suspect.

After that hoax virus alert, shouldn't it be your cheeks pulsating red? :)

shhh... i was only trying to be helpful... *pouts*

i dunno if it'll give you access to BMJ, but i have membership and code to the Toronto Ref Lib's online Database of various Journals, and there is a medical section, in which i think the BMJ might be in... so if you want to check it out, send me an email
