QUB card holders do not need to undergo a registration process but must present their card at the SC&A Enquiry Desk.

Please fill out our Visitor & Consultation form with details of your visit and the materials you would like to consult. This is only necessary if you wish to consult early printed books, manuscript material, maps, microfilm or the University Archive. If consulting these materials visitors should apply at least one working day in advance of their visit.

If you are a SCONUL Card Holder, please fill out our Visitor & Consultation form before your first visit and present your SCONUL card at the SC&A Enquiry Desk. 

The form only needs to be filled out for subsequent visits if you wish to consult early printed books, manuscript material, maps, microfilm or the University Archive. If consulting these materials visitors should apply at least one working day in advance of their visit.

If you do not hold a QUB card please fill out our Visitor & Consultation form with details of your visit and the materials you would like to consult. When you arrive you must produce suitable ID at the SC&A Enquiry Desk. Visitors must have photographic ID and evidence of their address (if not in the photo ID).

All non QUB visitors should apply at least one working day in advance of their visit, a week's notice is preferable to ensure sufficient time is given to process a Library pass.
