UCL Libraries helping with exam revision: increased loan entitlements

Your responses in student surveys have highlighted that you would like to be able to borrow a larger number of books. We have listened to your feedback. From Monday 18 April, UCL students can borrow more books and library items.

We have increased the number of loans permitted for undergraduate and postgraduate taught students from 10 to 15. While research postgraduates' entitlement has increased from 20 to 25 items.

The majority of our libraries provide self-service kiosks for issuing and returning books, so you can take advantage of your increased entitlement during library opening hours. For libraries which do not yet provide self-service kiosks, we will install new equipment in summer 2016.

24/7 Opening hours

The Main Library, Science Library, Cruciform Hub and selected learning spaces are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can find more information on opening times for all library sites on the UCL Library Services website. To minimise disruption to study, we don't allow any events to be held in the Flaxman Gallery or Library spaces between 1 January and the end of Term 3 June 10.

You can study at any of the 18 UCL libraries. Information about current building works near our libraries and seating availability at our busiest libraries can be found on the UCL Libary Services 'Where can I study?' webpage.

Don't forget

ReadingLists@UCL provides online versions your reading list, ensuring quick and easy access to course readings.

Laptop Loans are available in the Main and Cruciform library, as well as in the Royal Free Hospital Medical Library and Whittington Healthcare Library.

Finally, a vending machine is now available in the Science Library.
