Intermittent disruption to UCL Press book downloads
Posted on 17th June, 2026
We’re currently aware of an issue affecting downloads from UCL Discovery, which means some readers may be having difficulty accessing UCL Press books. UCL Press journals are unaffected by this issue.
Our technical team is actively looking into the problem and working to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, all UCL Press books remain freely and immediately available to download via our partner platforms:
Both sites host our full open access catalogue, so you should still be able to access any title you need without interruption.
We know how important reliable access is for readers, authors and librarians alike, and we’re sorry for any frustration this may cause. Thank you for your patience while we resolve the issue.
We’ll share a further update as soon as downloads via UCL Discovery are back to normal.
