UCL Explore, the library catalogue, is your primary tool for finding books, journals, and other materials available in UCL libraries, both in print and online.
E-books can be accessed via Explore anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
A reference work is a resource, such as a dictionary, encyclopaedia or handbook, that provides authoritative facts or summaries on specific topics. It’s typically used to look up quick, reliable information rather than read continuously.
Below is a selection of suggested reference works relevant to Security and Crime Science:
Books for Security and Crime Science are for the most part located in the Main Library (Wilkins building). They are part of the Law Collection in room 114 (LAW H section).
You may also find materials of relevance in other UCL Libraries, such as the Science Library (DMS Watson building).
If a book is available in print, Explore will provide details about where to find it, including the library location, collection, and shelfmark.
You can use our Click and Collect service to reserve books from any library and have them delivered to another 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.
