Reserving books

If all copies of a London library book are on loan, please contact the library to make a reservation, for instance by emailing library@sia.edu.

You will receive an automatic email as soon as the book is available for you.  

Please collect your reserved book  within three days of receiving this email.  After that it will be returned to the library shelves.

 

Recommending books for the library to buy

Students are welcome to make suggestions for purchases of books or other material. Please email library@sia.edu with your recommendations, or speak to the librarians in person. Please note that we do not buy everything that is requested, but carefully consider quality, general usefulness to the collection, price, and availability in other libraries.
