Register for a British Library Reader’s Pass
08/05/2025

The British Library (Euston, London) is open to students and researchers who wish to use its world-class collections and resources. To do this, you need to register for a reader’s pass.
Begin by reading the information on their reader registration webpage and follow the guidance on this page.
You will need to visit the Library in person in order to get a registration pass. You will need to take a form of ID and proof of address to the Reader Registration Office to complete the process.
The British Library does not have material on open display; to use the collections you will need to request items. This can be done in advance of your visit, using the online ordering system, or in person. Some items are held in storage, so it is worth checking their availability online before your visit. More information about ordering items from the BL.
The Business and Management collection may be of particular interest to students and researchers in SOM.
