Members of the general public and private researchers are welcome to visit the libraries with a One Day Pass if they can demonstrate a genuine research need. They will be asked to provide detail of their research and a list of resources they intend to use.
There is no need to apply in advance to obtain a One Day Pass. Just turn up at the Library Welcome Desk during staffed hours, with a valid form of official ID and a student/staff/SCONUL ID. You will be asked to complete a form and, if you satisfy the criteria above, you will be given a One Day Pass.
One Day Passes are valid until the closing time of the Library and can be obtained once per academic year only.
