Senate House Libraries
Former library system of the University of London
The Senate House Libraries ( SHL ), formerly The University of London Research Library Services , was a group of libraries based in Bloomsbury which together comprised an extensive research collection across the humanities and social sciences . It existed under this name from 2011 to 2013.
SHL was a division of the University of London , headquartered at Senate House on Russell Square , and was formed by bringing together the former University of London Library (now Senate House Library) and the libraries of the various institutes comprising the School of Advanced Study . The previous umbrella name, University of London Research Library Services (ULRLS) was replaced by Senate House Libraries on 1 April 2011 in a rebranding exercise.
The following eight libraries were part of SHL:
- Institute for the Study of the Americas library [1]
- Institute of Advanced Legal Studies library [2]
- Institute of Classical Studies library [3]
- Institute of Commonwealth Studies library [4]
- Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies library [5]
- Institute of Historical Research library [6]
- Senate House Library [7]
- Warburg Institute library [8]
The combined holdings of the libraries amount to almost 3 million volumes, including many thousands of journals, and numerous deep and rich collections of research materials in subjects across the disciplines.
The Senate House Libraries group was dismantled in 2013; in 2014 Senate House Library joined the School of Advanced Study . There are now four independent libraries in the School of Advanced Study: Senate House Library and the libraries of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies , the Institute of Classical Studies , the Institute of Historical Research and the Warburg Institute .
