Library and Information Service

The Dementia Services Development Centre library houses one of the UK's largest collections of publications on dementia. Based at our Stirling office our specialist dementia library holds around 12,000 books, reports and journal articles on the care of people with dementia. We also hold a small collection of books in our Belfast office.
Our online catalogue will provide you with a wide range of dementia-related resources. See Eileen's Answers for our Library and Information Service Manager's answers to recent enquiries. View our topic links page for links to catalogue records on frequently requested topics.
Books and reports on dementia can be borrowed in person by visiting our Stirling or Belfast offices, or by post within the UK and Ireland. A document supply service is also available.
