Visitors standard reply - Rejecting an Independent Researcher application
Answer
Dear <insert name>,
Thank you for your interest in visiting Queen Mary libraries.
Unfortunately, your application for Independent Researcher Membership has been denied.
In order to give Queen Mary users priority, access to our libraries is restricted to visitors demonstrating genuine research needs, for example, a need to access specific books from our collection to carry out specified research.
Your online application either did not include enough details about your research topic or the books you require, or did not provide adequate reasons for wanting to use our libraries.
If you are a student or staff member at a SCONUL Access participating university, you may me eligible to apply for SCONUL Access membership. Alternatively, you may wish to use the public library on Whitechapel Road, ‘Idea Store’, which is open until late and is within walking distance of our Whitechapel site.
Should you need further assistance, please do get in touch.
Kind regards,
