Can I reserve books held on the open shelves?
Answer
Books on the open shelves (floors 4-7) cannot be requested in advance as they are for readers to consult themselves. If you need any books on the open shelves you will have to get them yourself when you visit. They may be on loan to other readers, so always check the catalogue in advance.
If you need assistance fetching or carrying books, we offer an accessibility fetch service:
Books and other items can be fetched for you and brought down to the Service Desk on the 4th floor for collection.
To request a fetch, please email your list to senatehouselibrary@london.ac.uk. If it is not possible to email us, please call us on 020 7862 8500 or ask at the Service Desk on the 4th floor.
Please help us by giving one day's notice and if possible, pasting the catalogue details of each item into the email.
Please see our accessibility pages for more details.
