Locations, Opening Hours and Support Update
London Campus Library - Restricted Access
Due to building works in the Import Building, there is no access for students to the library bookshelves. Library staff are temporarily based in the Export Building and are available to assist you:
-
Please make a reservation for any physical books you need - you will receive an email to let you know when they are ready for collection.
-
We aim to have items ready for collection within 24 hours of a request being placed (with the exception of weekends). However, please wait for your email confirmation before travelling.
-
Reserved items can be collected from the Export Building Reception during library opening hours.

Here is a helpful guide to finding and logging in to online resources, including e-books, journals and databases.
