The Library is a member of SCONUL Access, a co-operative venture between higher education libraries.
This scheme enables staff, research students, full time postgraduates and part-time, distance learning and placement students to borrow materials from other libraries. Some institutions also allow full time undergraduates to access their libraries on a reference-only basis. See the full list of participating institutions and further details of the scheme here.
Libraries that are not members of the SCONUL Access Scheme may have their own visitor borrowing policies. Please see their website for more information.

If you meet the above criteria you should be eligible to join the scheme by applying via the SCONUL Access website. You only need to complete one application request regardless of how many institutions you wish to join.

We recommend checking the information about members on the SCONUL Access website to find out if a particular institution is a member of the scheme and what their local requirements are as these may vary.
For further information about joining the SCONUL scheme, please contact the Assistant User Services Managers (Circulation): Ruth Collins (Tuesday & Wednesday) and Benjamin Wynes (Wednesday-Friday).

You will need to ensure that you have your UEA campus card for the library to register you. Your application will be passed to UEA Library for approval. The NHS Trust library will contact you once your application has been approved.
