UCL Explore, the library catalogue, is the principal tool to find books, journals and other materials (either in print or in electronic format) held in UCL libraries.
E-books can be accessed through Explore on any device, from anywhere and at any time.
On UCL Explore, you can look at the results of your search to quickly discover if a book is available in print or/and online: View Online means that the book is available electronically, while Available means that the book is available in print. In some cases a book is available both in print and online.
Collections of e-books can be browsed or searched. All full-text services are also searchable in Explore and can be found in the A-Z of Databases list.
Computer Science books are located on the 4th floor of the Science Library (the DMS Watson building).
Where held in print, UCL Explore will provide the location details of the materials you are looking for including library site, collection and shelfmark.
You can use our Click and Collect service to reserve books from any library and have them delivered to your library of choice for collection. Alternatively, if you need a chapter or section of a book, use our Scan and Send service to receive extracts via email
If a book location is listed as Stores, the item is kept in storage off-campus and you will need to place a request for the item.
