Students and Staff from other UK and some ROI universities can apply to join the LRC if they are a member of the SCONUL Access Scheme.
Once their home university has approved their membership they should apply to be an external borrower using the external borrower form. When accepted we will request a copy of their SCONUL membership confirmation email.
Bring this and your student/staff card to the LRC and we will create a library account for you.
Please note: Applications may take several days to process and you may not be able to borrow immediately. Full-time undergraduates are only entitled to access for reference purposes and are not required to apply.
Please complete this form to apply to join library as External Borrower / SCONUL member.
You can borrow up to six loanable (non-reference) items
Some of our resources are restricted to current matriculated students and staff due to account and licensing limitations.
