UCL staff and students may only borrow books outside the Teaching Collection.
Tickets are usually valid for the duration of a student's course.
Former students of the School, students and staff from other colleges of the University of London and outside readers engaged in study, research and teaching in an appropriate field may apply for membership subject to suitable recommendation. Some categories of member will be asked to pay a deposit or fee. All enquiries relating to membership of the Library should be directed to the Enquiries Rooms. Tickets should be carried at all times and produced when borrowing or when requested by a member of the library staff. Most books are issued for three weeks at a time during term, or for the duration of a vacation, unless another reader requests their recall.
