The Andersonian Library is the principal university library of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. Established in 1796, it is one of the largest of its type in Scotland. Access to the Library is restricted to Strathclyde university students and faculty only; upon entering the facility you are greeted with a card reader and security guard. This ensures that no unwanted visitors disrupt students during crucial working times. However, if you have forgotten or lost your card then a visitor's pass can be acquired from reception twice; then after a small fee is required to use the facilities without a Student card.
