What is the SCONUL Access scheme?

The SCONUL Access scheme is open to staff, research students, postgraduate and part-time undergraduate students, distance learning and placement students who are studying at member institutions, and allows borrowing arrangements to be set up on a reciprocal basis.

There are different levels of access, referred to as bands. Not all institutions accept applications from all bands, so please check the for further details.
