External Visitors

External visitors may be allowed reference access to our collections, or limited borrowing privileges, depending on their circumstances. 

For security and copyright reasons, there is no access to electronic resources or the UEL network. 

WiFi access is available via 'The Cloud', or via EduRoam if visiting from another academic institution.

At the moment, we are only able to offer access to UEL alumni and participants in the SCONUL access scheme.

SCONUL Access

The Sconul Access scheme is open for staff and students at participating institutions.  More information and the application form can be found on the SCONUL Access website: SCONUL Access | SCONUL

There is no fee to sign up to this scheme.  On their first visit to a UEL library, SCONUL Access visitors must bring their acceptance letter and ID issued by their home institution, and a passport photograph for the creation of a visitors ID card. 

A £10 fee is payable for the replacement of a lost or damaged visitors card.

Alumni 

The Alumni Passport benefit card can be purchased from the Alumni office for a one off fee of £15.  Benefits include reference access to the Docklands and Stratford campus libraries.

For an additional annual fee of £50, Alumni can borrow up to 5 items from the library service.
