The Society Library

Senate House Library at the University of London is a key benefit of Society membership giving members access to the Society’s comprehensive collection of books, journals and periodicals, and much more besides.

Society members can become reference readers at no charge (saving £150 on the public rate) by presenting themselves at the Library in person with ID (what ID do I need?). Chartered psychologists need bring no more - Senate House can simply look the name up on the online register and they are given a reference card valid for three years. Other members of the Society need to bring along either their BPS membership card or a letter of introduction from the Leicester office (e-mail membership to obtain one), and their reference card is valid for one year.

Directions for how to get there.

With a reference card, library users have access not only to the Society's collections but also to all Senate House's collections and resources. Additionally, Society members may apply to the Library to become borrowers at a special rate, currently £100 a year (compared to the public rate of £175).

The arrangements with Senate House Library are managed on behalf of the Society through the History of Psychology Centre.
