UCL Library Services

Reading rooms in some of our libraries will be temporarily inaccessible from 13th June 2017. The following rooms are currently affected:

UCL Library Services are currently working in partnership with ISD to install 415 new PCs within the UCL Main, Science, Institute of Child Health, Cruciform Hub, Institute of Education and Royal Free libraries.

The UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health Library is having a complete makeover this summer.

Replacement work on the UCL Institute of Archaeology lifts is currently taking place on the 5th floor, outside the Institute of Archaeology Library. This work will continue throughout the rest of the summer term and summer vacation.

At 12:00 on Friday 7th April this temporary building, which had been used for study space, will be taken down and removed. As a temporary measure, the Library have arranged to accommodate all tables to provide 40 additional seats within the Main and Science Libraries to offset the loss of the space during the exam period.

From Saturday 25 March UCL Main and Science libraries and the Cruciform Hub will be extending their opening hours over weekends, so that you can use the study spaces 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We are aware that readers may currently be finding it difficult to find somewhere to sit and study in the Main and Science libraries. We are doing our best to find ways to help you find a desk. We walk round the libraries regularly monitoring the situation and are currently working on a number of ways to help – watch this space.

The Customer Service Team would like to welcome you to your newly refurbished ground floor of the UCL Science Library.

The lift servicing the South Wing and the Wilkins Building (south side) will be taken out of action from 17:30 on Friday 17th February 2017. 

UCL Press was thrilled to win the UCL Brand Ambassador award at the UCL professional services awards yesterday. The award was made for the global reach UCL Press’s books and journals have achieved, with download figures now close to 200,000 in over 200 countries since its launch in June 2015.
