Potential delays to service
Whilst our warehouse undergoes maintenance, there may be delays in delivering your requested items until the end of 2018.
Check with us first
Before travelling, you can check with your library pickup location to see if your items are there for you. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Before sending the form
- UCL users - send your request via Explore
Did you know…? If you are a UCL student or affiliate, it’s much easier to request a Stores item from your library account. Simply log in to Explore with your username and password, search for the item, and click Request next to the item details.
Advantages of Explore
Using Explore provides users with additional benefits:
- Choose your pick-up location from any of our libraries (not just those listed on the form below)
- You'll receive an email when your item arrives!
- UCL copyright advice
If you are photocopying a part of a thesis then you need to adhere to the copyright law, e.g. you can only copy 5% of the thesis or one chapter, which ever is the greater.
- To learn more about this see our Copyright Advice web pages
- Digitisation of theses - view as PDF
Most theses from 1990 to present are available to view as pdfs via Proquest (paper copies are still available). Please follow the link below:
