Books

The Queen Square Library has a collection of over 10,000 books. The majority of our books are in print format although some online e-books are available (see the e-books page). Recently purchased books are listed on our website.

How to find a print book in the Queen Square Library

• First, search Explore (the library catalogue) to find out if we have purchased the book and to locate the shelfmark.
• Our classification scheme will help you to find the topics you need on the shelf.

Older books kept in Neurology Store or UCL Stores

If Explore shows a book's location as either Neurology Store or Stores it will be an older book, kept in off-site storage, so you will not be able to find it yourself on the library shelves.

• the location STORE-NO7 or Neurology Store indicates an item is kept in our local storage area at Queen Square; please use the Click & Collect service to request items.
• the location Stores indicates an item is in the UCL off-site storage facility in Essex; please request items using the Stores service.

Borrowing a book from the Queen Square Library

Registered users may borrow books - see our Services page for more details.

Is the book available online?

• NHS e-books have been purchased for use by NHS staff and are accessible via the Knowledge and Library Hub. Please note that most NHS e-books will require you to log in with your NHS OpenAthens account.
• UCL e-books have been purchased by the university for use by UCL staff and students. Most are listed in Explore (the library catalogue), where you can choose to limit a search to e-books only. You can also visit the UCL e-books page which provides information about the various packages available. Please note that most UCL e-books will require you to log in with your UCL credentials.

Do you want us to the buy the book for the Library?

• We welcome suggestions about books to purchase for the Library. Please check Explore (the library catalogue) first to make sure that we don't already have the book(s) and then visit our book suggestion page. Wherever possible we will buy the books you suggest, but we are constrained by the limits of our budget. We will usually give higher priority to books that are of interest to more than one person.

Is the book held in another library?

• Search for books held by libraries outside UCL via each library's catalogue. A list of key libraries can be found on our other libraries page (including the British Library, Wellcome Library, BMA etc.)
• To request the loan of a book from another library use the interlibrary loans service. This service is available to registered library users based in Queen Square and Wakefield Street (including IoN staff & students, NHNN staff, and UCL staff based in Queen Square). For more information about the service see the interlibrary loans page. Please note that a charge is made for this service.

Books with CD-ROMs and DVDs

Some older print books were supplied with a disc inside. These can be borrowed for viewing by registered library users for the same period as the associated book. Please ask for the disc at the library desk. It is not possible to use the discs on a Library computer so you will need to have your own computer with a disc-drive.

Each disc was tested when it was received. However, the lifespan of digital media is limited and software can become obsolete over time, so we cannot guarantee that the media will work and we are not able to obtain replacements for discs that no longer work.
