Finding books
Explore contains information about all books held by UCL libraries. Only those marked Royal Free are available on this site.
Books may be borrowed at the issue desk or using the self-service kiosk opposite the issue desk. The self-service kiosk allows items to be conveniently issued, returned and renewed. The process is quick (it allows multi-item checkout and return) and printed receipts are available to provide a record of transactions and due dates. If you require a demonstration or have any questions please ask, library staff will be only too happy to help, or you can view an online demonstration.
