Library users other than current University of Cambridge staff and students   

We are proud to have a large active community of readers who rely on the University Libraries, from writers to independent scholars. All registered library users can visit the University Library to consult material and study, and to borrow if your membership permits this.

If you aren’t able to visit the Library in person, you can continue to access the Cambridge Digital Library and Apollo, the University's Repository for research outputs from the University. You can also use the Virtual Reading Room for Special Collections enquiries, and many of our LibGuides. In addition, alumni of the University can access a suite of e-resources.


It is sometimes necessary to make changes to our services at short notice. Any changes are announced via our library service updates and through our X (Twitter) account, @theUL.
