Using other libraries - SCONUL Access

SCONUL Access is a co-operative scheme run by a number of higher education libraries in the UK and Ireland. A SCONUL Access card will allow you to access material held in participating libraries.

Full-time undergraduate students will be able to gain reference only access to material held by participating libraries. Take a look at the SCONUL Access website to see the access options available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.  This may be particularly useful if you are travelling home for the Christmas vacation.  

To join the scheme you will need to apply for a card from your home library - The University of Sheffield Library.

Take a look at the library web pages to find out more about applying and participating libraries.
