During planned UCL datacentre maintenance between 17:00 Friday 20th and 08:00 Monday 23rd February some online library services will be affected.

The Digital Collections service, including Exam Papers, will be unavailable. The information about the current availability of items in our libraries will not be up to date.  You will not be able to sign into Explore to access your library account, place requests, book rooms or renew items. You may still borrow and return books at our libraries, and access to electronic resources (electronic books, journals and databases) is not affected.

Services are scheduled to return to normal from 08:00 on Monday 23rd February, but should be considered ‘at risk’ throughout that morning.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
