SCONUL Access

Who can  join SCONUL Access?

SCONUL Access is a reciprocal service supported by most of the higher education libraries of the UK and Ireland. It was created from two existing schemes, SCONUL Research Extra and UK Libraries Plus and carries forward the basic principles of these schemes.

SCONUL Access provides borrowing privileges for most:

  • academic staff on open or fixed term contracts
  • postgraduate research students registered for a PhD, MPhil or similar qualification
  • part-time, distance learning and  placement students
  • full-time postgraduates

SCONUL Access also provides for a reference only service for most:

  • full-time undergraduate students
  • staff of a few higher education libraries not participating in the reciprocal borrowing arrangement

 
You will find all this information and more, e.g. list of participating libraries, here
 
Students who want to register for this scheme have to be currently enrolled with the University. They can download and complete the Sconul request form here and hand it in at the Lending Help Desk in any of BCU libraries.
