​Since this guide is aimed at the majority of incoming first years and UCL undergraduate students in general, we have excluded some of the libraries due to the following reasons:

​

• Graduate Hub and Senate House Hub are only available for postgraduates

​

• Special Collections might not be used often for incoming first years

​

• Royal Free Hospital Medical Library is available for all UCL students, but NHS restrictions are in place – students who are not based at the Royal Free Hospital are recommended to use other libraries if possible (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/using-library/libraries-and-study-spaces/royal-free-hospital-medical-library-ucl-library-services)

​

• Whittington Health Library is only available for UCL medical students on placement at the Whittington Hospital (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/using-library/libraries-and-study-spaces/whittington-health-library)

​

• Institute of Orthopaedics Library is only available for students of the Institute of Orthopaedics (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/using-library/libraries-and-study-spaces/ucl-institute-orthopaedics-library)

​

• Joint Library of Ophthalmology is only available for students of the Institute of Ophthalmology (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/using-library/libraries-and-study-spaces/joint-library-ophthalmology-moorfields-eye-hospital-ucl)

​

• 1-19 Torrington Place is now closed as a library space and is being converted back into offices (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/news/2022/jun/1-19-torrington-place-study-spaces-have-closed)
