Abstract

This article is a joint reflection about a Radiologist’s experience of using health libraries in England’s National Health Service (NHS) during the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is a collaboration between an Academic Librarian and an Interventional Radiologist. It attempts to reflect on the lived experience of the Radiologist and locate that experience within the wider Library and Information Science context. Findings include new insights into the role of librarians within the dissemination of research during the pandemic and analysis on libraries as a therapeutic space, even when operating remotely.
