The library is open to College members 24 hours a day and staffed only on weekdays between 09:15 to 17:15. It relies heavily on trust for its operations, including borrowing. Our chief concerns about admission are to ensure the security of readers, security of books and equipment, and availability of books and workspaces for our core constituency. The following categories have been agreed by the College Council.
Access card and full borrowing rights:
- All matriculated current students
- Current Fellows
- Current staff
- Emeritus Fellows
Access card, no borrowing rights:
