Visitors

The Library is normally open only to those working at NIMR, however Medical Research Council staff working elsewhere may use the Library facilities during normal working hours but should notify the Library in advance. Others may only use the Library in special circumstances.

Permission

Permission to visit the Library must be requested in writing from the Institute Director, explaining what materials you wish to consult and why you need access to the NIMR collections.

Conditions

All visitors to the Library are asked to observe a simple set of rules.

  • Advance notice must be given for each visit:
  • Reference-only access to book and journal stock is available to visitors
  • A photocopier is available, for self-service copying for non-commercial research or private study, subject to copyright guidelines
