Library Hub Discover will find you books in other libraries in the UK (plus Dublin).
Library Hub Discover does not tell you which of the libraries it lists you can access. For this info see:
Key libraries in London for MACA
- National Art Library at the V&A
- British Library one of the three largest libraries in the world
- Tate Library at Tate Britain
The following may also be useful. Most are not included in Library Hub Discover, meaning their catalogues need searching separately:
- British Film Institute for moving image
- Drawing Room small library of works about contemporary drawing
- Feminist Library and Women's Library (at LSE)
- Hayward Gallery Library especially for catalogues of Hayward exhibitions
- iniva small library for global contemporary art and British artists from diverse backgrounds
- Live Art Development Agency for performance art
- SOAS for African and Asian art. Only three free visits per year allowed
- University of the Arts London and Royal College of Art two libraries that only admit visitors to consult books unavailable elsewhere
- Whitechapel Art Gallery most useful for Whitechapel exhibition catalogues. Also has the full Documents of Contemporary Art series
- Women's Art Library (at Goldsmiths)
WorldCat will find you books in other libraries worldwide. Coverage is uneven; e.g. there are some major African cities with no libraries included.
The SIA librarians will help you find books and access libraries anywhere in the world: though please note our knowledge of many countries is limited.
