Books and e-books

The principal book collection for Management is located on the second floor of the Science Library

Explore is UCL's library catalogue. This is the principal tool to find books, journals and other materials (either in print or in electronic format) held in UCL libraries. On the catalogue, you will find details such as: library site, collection and shelfmark, when you are looking for print resources. In order to access e-books via Explore, you will always need your UCL user ID and password.

 

Print books are arranged on the shelves according to their shelfmark. For example:

MANAGEMENT HD 69.P75 PRO for a book on project management

MANAGEMENT HF 5635 MCL for a book on accounting
