Library Access: SCONUL Access Scheme

Dear Research Fellows,

Some of you have asked about access to library resources at University of Sunderland.  After some research it appears there is a scheme that enables you to use the University Library.

There is a national scheme called SCONUL Access. It’s simple to apply using an online form, where you provide details of your home institution and the libraries you’d like to visit. Your home institution then verifies you as a library user and you receive a confirmation email. Simply take this email, along with your home institution library card, to the library you want to visit and they will issue you with a card to access their library resources. Each library will have its own rules and regulations, but for Sunderland University, any incoming SCONUL user is allowed to access the library during staffed hours, borrow up to 4 resources at a time, can be logged onto a guest PC in the building to access the internet, standard software etc. and access our e-resources including journals, where our licenses allow.

The SCONUL application form is found here  http://www.sconul.ac.uk/sconul-access

Happy researching!
