SCONUL Access
From Monday 24 January 2022, we are once again participating in the SCONUL Access scheme, following a pause to the scheme due to the pandemic.
The SCONUL Access scheme is a reciprocal national agreement which allows staff and students access to other UK university libraries.
Members of Durham University can access other academic libraries across the UK and Ireland through the SCONUL Access scheme. This means, for example, you can use a local academic library in your hometown for study during the vacation, or if you are on a distance-learning course, you can borrow from a local library rather than having to come to Durham.
To find out which libraries you can access and how to apply for the scheme, please visit our website. Please be aware that you will only be able to submit an application to the scheme from Monday 24 January.
