Visitors
| Please note: At present, there is no printing or photocopying facility in the libraries for anyone without a Londonmet student ID card, for example, academic staff, visitors and external students/researchers. A new system has been introduced which currently prevents this and we hope to rectify this as soon as possible. |
The primary function of London Metropolitan University libraries is to support the teaching and research needs of its members. However, some use by external readers is permitted either as part of a reciprocal scheme or on an individual basis.
Please note: Due to a reorganisation of the journals at Commercial Road library not all titles are available - please contact us prior to your visit to ensure that the material you wish to consult is available.
