Search for books held in universities in London and the South-East by using the InforM25 service. Most other University of London libraries allow reference (non-borrowing access). For further details on arrangements see our Using other Libraries webpages.
Find out about books in the main UK research libraries (including the British Library and Oxford and Cambridge Universities by using the COPAC catalogue).

Journals not held at LSE

If LSE does not have the printed or electronic version of a journal then you can check to see if other libraries have it using the Union List of Serials (University of London Colleges) or COPAC (British Library and other research universities across the UK).
Use the Inter-Library Lending system for journal articles that you cannot easily get to yourself by clicking on the 'Requests and inter-lending' button on the Classic Library Catalogue and select the 'Request a journal from another library' option.

Using other libraries
