    This scheme offers reference access to over 170 higher education libraries.  Part time and distance learning students can have borrowing rights.  Many libraries also grant borrowing rights to full time postgraduates.  Academic staff and research students (MPhil or PhD) are allowed borrowing rights at all of the libraries.  Check the list of participating libraries.  Apply at the Library help desk or send the application form to Birkbeck Library.

 

Finding and obtaining materials

The catalogues of most other university libraries can be searched online and there are a number of web sites that allow you to search across groups of libraries in order to help you locate materials easily.  See the Other Libraries section of the web site.

The Library can often obtain materials you cannot find locally through the inter-library loans service.
