Library Search Maintenance

9 Apr 2026

Library Search will be unavailable on Saturday 11 April until 12.00pm due to essential maintenance.

Exterior of Library and Museum in London

Our Library Search page will be unavailable on Saturday 11 April 2026 due to essential maintenance by OCLC, our service provider.

The maintenance is scheduled to start at 4.00am and complete by 12.00pm. Whilst Library Search is down, you will not be able to search or access your library account.

OCLC have scheduled the system maintenance across all library search pages using their product (WorldCat Discovery). A live service status for WorldCat Discovery is available on the OCLC Website.

Our other online services, including BrowZine, will be available. BrowZine is a platform which allows you to read journal articles and opt in for current awareness alerts.

Members visiting the library and museum in London will be able to borrow and return print books using the self-service machine on the ground floor.
