Closed access request form

Use this page to request borrowable items from closed access collections (i.e. in locations only accessible to library staff).

Items that  are in the WML Reserve Collection, Old Library Office, WML Office, Librarian's Office (E1)Armitage Room Special Collections, and Owlstone Store can be requested to be fetched by staff. Most will be borrowable, but some items may only be read in the library. Borrowable items from closed access locations will be issued until the end of the academic year.

Undergraduates can also use this form to request items from the Armitage Room.

We aim to collect requests within 1 hour during staffed hours (and within 1 working day for items in the Owlstone Store). Outside 9-5 Monday to Friday, your item will be fetched the next working day.

Alternatively, you can speak to staff at the enquiry desk to ask for closed access items.
