Apologies but we have suspended Sconul Access applications until further notice.
You are also unlikely to be able to access other University libraries as a Sconul card holder.
The British Library has closed its Reading Roms in London and Boston Spa but you can still explore their online collections.
SCONUL Access allows students (except full-time undergraduates*) to borrow from most higher education libraries in the UK and Ireland.
SCONUL Access doesn't usually give access to PCs and electronic resources - check this beforehand with the library you're visiting.
*If you are a full-time undergraduate you can use SCONUL Reference Access to visit other libraries but you can't borrow items or use PCs.
The SCONUL Vacation Access Scheme also allows students to use other libraries during their vacations by simply showing their Leeds Beckett Campus Card.
The British Library holds 7 million publications in the Reading Room at the Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, near Leeds.
You can visit to consult material but you can't borrow from the Library. You must pre-register for a Reading Room pass and order your material online before visiting.
Opening hours and other information is available from the Library's website.
If you log in to the eduroam wireless network on your laptop with your Leeds Beckett login you should be automatically connected to the internet when you visit other university libraries in the UK and abroad.
You should contact the library you wish to visit beforehand to check opening hours, access policies, accessibility and any documentation you need to take with you. Please note many libraries don't allow access during busy times such as exams so please check before you visit.
You may also find useful resources in your local public library or in specialised libraries. Ask your Academic Librarian about these.
Library Hub Discover enables you to search over 130 national, academic, and specialist library catalogues to help you identify resources held elsewhere.
