Move to Senate House delayed
Our move to Senate House has been unfortunately delayed. This is because the extensive programme of works to refurbish the South Block of the Senate House building have not yet been fully completed.
With a large number of parts of the School and Senate House and Institute Libraries moving, scheduling of these moves is currently being re-worked, taking into account the delays in access to the refurbished areas, as well as the desire to complete all moves by the start of the new academic year.
Please check our website for updates. We will close both to enable the Institute academic and administrative offices to be moved, and while the Library itself is moving. We have plans for alternative access to collections to be available during any closed period, and recommend that any researchers or other users contact us in advance as much as possible.

The Indian General Election: The Outcome and its Implications
This Thursday, the 25th of June, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies hosts a workshop on the recent Indian General Election (for further details see http://www.sas.ac.uk/events/view/5809)
The Library holds significant collections relating to elections in Commonwealth countries including pamphlets and leaflets produced by political parties, official election results, observer reports of the Commonwealth Secretariat and other bodies, and published analyses of elections (both in book form and as journal articles). Other items consider electoral reform and methods of elections, gender representation, violence surrounding elections and the role of political parties. We’re happy to advise researchers on resources available.
