The Library Bulletin

Do you need a textbook? Use our 'Click, Collect and Return' service.

Who? Barristers and clerks who are reserving items on behalf of their chambers members.

How? First login to the Bar Library website. Search for the required item and go to the full catalogue record. Select the copy that you need and click on the click and collect button. Clerks then need to select the name of the barrister on whose behalf they are borrowing. You should receive an acknowledgement of your request and an email notifying you of the time to collect.

See the 'How to' guide for barristers and for clerks. If you have any issues with this, please email the library.

While you can reserve items at any time, you will only be able to collect and/or return items on Mondays and Thursdays between 11am and 1pm. The library will not be open. The books will be available for you to collect from outside the library on the sub-basement level of Selborne Chambers. There will be both a loans and a returns trolley available. Please note that are working within current guidelines regarding quarantining and sanitising library materials and relying on the ability of your colleagues in returning books currently on loan. Books must be quarantined for a minimum of 24 up to 72 hours depending on the material type.

Regional members of the Bar, please email your requests and we will trial a DX or Express Post service for you.

The Bar Librarians are currently working from home between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
