Study spaces and click and collect at the GOS ICH Library

The library has re-opened for library members for pre-booked study spaces, Click and Collect, and to return library book that are from our collections.

We would like to keep our library users and colleagues safe at this time and in compliance with government higher education guidelines, you will find that there are a few changes to our on site service. There is a reduction in study spaces and physical opening hours, as well as a one-way system in place. 

You will now need to book a study space before you come to the library, and only visit the library to collect a reserved book, or to return your library books. 


You must use the online booking system to book a place before visiting the libraries. UCL staff and students will be asked to login with their single-sign on. 



GOSH library members can book a GOSH networked PC or the Explore Access walk-in computer (for e-resources) by booking here with your library barcode number and GOSH or NHS.net email.

GOSH staff wishing to book a study desk (without a PC), please email library staff for a reservation: ich.library@ucl.ac.uk 

At the moment, browsing our shelves is not permitted. If you would like a book, please use the Click and Collect System  to obtain books from our library collections. Log in to Explore to find your book and place a request. 

You can find more details on these services on our FAQs page.

Please also note that there are also study spaces available in other nearby UCL locations such as Torrington place and the Student Centre.

If you require assistance, library staff are continuing to provide support and services remotely, so please contact us at  ich.library@ucl.ac.uk.

For information about physically open libraries, library services updates and online support, please check the UCL Library Services website.

Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space. Room G0.02 is a dedicated quiet space for wellbeing activities such as meditation, mindfulness practise, quiet reading, or for organised wellbeing activities (except on Fridays between 12:30pm and 2:30pm when it is reserved for prayer). To get to the rooms, cross the small bridge just outside Kennedy Lecture Theatre, and then go through the 2 sets of doors opposite Seminar Room 3 (which is just behind you), the rooms are on your left. To respect other users, please familiarise your...
