Special applications for use of Humanities, Management and Social Sciences collections Access to the collections may be permitted for personal research for a limited period. Special applications must be made in writing and submitted with a completed application form. For students, applications may need to be confirmed by a letter from a home institution. Access The Department Libraries contain the College's research material in their subjects, and local specialised material for the College's taught courses. They are open only to those needing to consult advanced research material .
Access is for reference only.
Borrowing is only for students and staff of Imperial College, staff of the Science Museum, or students on joint courses. Restrictions in licences, and in the use of the academic networks, do not allow us to make the full range of the College's electronic information services available to Visitors. Some abstracting and indexing titles, formerly held in printed form, are now subscribed to only in electronic form. Current issues of these titles may no longer be available for consultation by Visitors. Access does not give the right to use other services, particularly electronic services, nor to use the library simply as a place to work.
