Eureka - it's the Science Library!

One of several library sites at UCL, the Science Library is located in the DMS Watson building on Malet Place. For details about its collections, opening hours, facilities, and accessibility, see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/science.shtml.

You can find Library information for new starters at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/getting-started/

You can use the self-service checkouts here - but first you need your username and pin number (more details about this at another tour destination).

You can use a UCL computer here, as well as print, scan and photocopy.

The ISD (Information Services Division) Helpdesk is here for walk-in inquiries about access to UCL's computers and wireless internet.

A word about internet and computers at UCL

• How do you get started? ISD has its own induction pages at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/students/new-students
  
• How do you login? You need your UCL userid and password. To find your userid, have your UCL ID card to hand, and follow the instructions at https://myaccount.ucl.ac.uk/useridretrieve/

And while we're here, a word about Portico - your online record and more

If you pre-enrolled, you may already know that Portico allows most students to privately access and manage your record at UCL including:

• Update contact details
• Select modules
  
• Find timetables
• Collect exam results
• And more.

Good to know

• Note the ISD (Information Services Division) Service Desk is different from the Library Assistance desk.
• There's a drinking fountain on Floor 2 at the end of the corridor.
• You've seen the Main Library and the Science Library - UCL has other Libraries too.

Nearby

• The Institute of Making, Malet Place - a club for people interested in the made world. There's a materials library and a workshop stocked with tools. UCL staff and students are free to join - you just need to complete an induction. Details at http://www.instituteofmaking.org.uk/
• The Engineering cafe, corner of Malet Place and Torrington Place.
• Group study spaces - for details of bookable spaces see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/rm_intro.shtml
