Arrangements during UCL Term 3 (22 April 2013 to 7 June 2013)
Due to exceptional demand from its own population, UCL Library Services is not able to accept any paying reference user applications during UCL Term 3 (22 April 2013 to 7 June 2013). Cases of genuine bibliographic need may be considered as exceptions, but such cases should contact lib-membership@ucl.ac.uk for assessment and a decision, prior to attempting to register.
Special rates are charged to people who wish to join in order to carry out
work in connection with their employment, be it for a company, charity or other
organisation. A day pass is £10 and can be obtained on the day without prior
arrangement but for longer-term tickets application should be made in advance
to the Head of Membership.
Please note that we cannot offer external users access to our databases and other electronic resources. And, those wishing to use the law collection are not able to gain access at all during term time, even if they are willing to pay a fee.
For photocopies you would need to complete a CLA (Copyright Licensing Agency) form from one of our issue desk and pay a £12 + VAT fee.
| What do I need to bring with me? |
All non-UCL users (including UCL Alumni) applying for access to UCL Library Services must produce:
- proof of address (home and institutional, where relevant) AND
- photographic proof of identity AND
- credentials to indicate status / eligibility for library use (e.g. SCONUL Access Band 'A' card, UCL Alumni Association card), when making their application
Acceptable proof of identity is:
- Valid photocard driving licence
- Valid passport
- Institutional ID, including the bearer's photo, from another Higher Education Institution
- Institutional ID, including the bearer's photo, from an M25 scheme affiliated Institution
- Institutional ID, including the bearer's photo, from one of UCL's affiliated NHS trusts
- Valid British Library ID card
Acceptable proof of institutional address is:

Applications will not be accepted without sufficient proof of identity and address. One form of ID can fill more than one role (eg. a photocard driving licence is acceptable both as proof of identity and address). Documents present must be the originals (photocopies are not acceptable). Please note that if your status and eligibility is not clear from the presented documentation, you will be asked to produce additional credentials to confirm (eg. official enrolment certificate from one's home institution). This includes students from other Universities where the department and/or degree studied are not indicated on the Student ID card.
Users applying for borrowing access must also provide a passport sized photograph. This is used to make up your Library card.
| Lost, stolen or forgotten Library cards for external users |
Your UCL Library card is important - please take care of it. You will not be admitted without it and you will be charged for its replacement.
UCL Library Services charges a fee of £7.00 for the replacement of all Library only ID cards, reference or borrowing, that have been lost, forgotten or otherwise misplaced.
Note - No charge is made for the initial registration, only for the replacement of lost ID cards. Charges are not levied for the replacement of cards that have expired or are within one calendar month of expiry. Also, if a card has become damaged but can be returned to the Library, it will be replaced without charge.
