The Abdus Salam Library Store holds Imperial College London PhD theses and some Master's dissertations, Abdus Salam Library journals, UKRR journals, the Earth Science and Engineering Series and our Special collections.

Journals

To confirm availability of printed journal titles and volumes physically held by the Library, please use Library Search.

If a print journal volume you require is not held in our print or electronic collections, or is held at a different campus library from where you are based, you may request the article using the Document Delivery.

If you are based at the Abdus Salam Library, please use the ‘Request a Journal’ form below for journals listed in Library Search as ‘Apply for Store service (information hub)’.

Theses

Before requesting a thesis please check whether an electronic copy is available in the Spiral Repository.

If a thesis is not available in Spiral you can:

  1. Visit the Abdus Salam Library to consult it - complete a Thesis request form prior to your visit
  2. Place a Document Delivery request for a digital copy of the thesis. The time scale for digitisation is currently 2 weeks.
