Most of our memberships run on annual basis, but we will send you an automatic reminder when your membership is about to expire. If you wish to retain access to our spaces and collections, you must renew your membership, and if there is a fee associated with your membership type, this must also be paid before you can regain access to the Library.
If you hold a Public Membership you must outline why you require continued access to our collections - whether this is for the same project or a new one.
SCONUL memberships are accepted for the duration of your studies at your home institution, so if you need to renew your SCONUL membership you will need to provide a copy of your home institution ID badge and a new SCONUL acceptance letter.
Short-term access is only provided for 7 consecutive days per annum, so if you would like to re-apply for your short-term access, please first make sure we are in a new calendar year, and then re-fill the short-term access application form.
Membership renewal form (online form)
If your renewal is approved, we will notify you to proceed with payment of the membership fee (if applicable).
Once payment is successfully completed, we will update the expiry of your library account and re-issue your access card. Please note that the waiting period may vary depending on the time of year, with an average processing time of 5-8 days.
Access cards can be collected from the reception desk in the Waterfront Building. Please make sure to bring valid photo identification when collecting your card. If you require collection outside of regular working hours, kindly inform us in advance so that we can arrange for your card to be securely held by our security team.
