Request a thesis

Before requesting a thesis please check whether an electronic copy is available in Spiral. Spiral is open access, however theses submitted for examination before July 2007 are restricted to Imperial College London members - log in with your Imperial username and password to download a copy.

If a thesis is not available in Spiral you can place a Document Delivery request for a digital copy of the thesis. The time scale for digitisation is currently 4 weeks.

If you wish to visit the Abdus Salam Library to consult a thesis, complete the form below prior to your visit.

If you have not visited the library before, please consult our information for Independent researchers and other visitors.

You may request a maximum of 4 items from the store at any one time.

The Store Service operates Monday - Friday only. Requests will take at least 24 hours to process and we will notify you by email when an item is available for consultation.

Requests are only processed during staffed opening times. Requests made at the weekend will be processed on a Monday.
