OU Library Services do our best to meet all our users’ needs but we appreciate there are times when you may need to use other universities’ libraries.

One of the most convenient ways of doing this is via the SCONUL Access scheme. It is quick and easy to sign up and gives access to the majority of UK university libraries.

Please note that conditions on registration and restrictions on the use of other libraries do apply – what each library can offer varies. Please see the SCONUL Access section of our Libraries near you page for more information and to sign up.
