SCONUL Access Scheme - Changes to Procedures


SCONUL Access Scheme is ONLY open to DIT staff and research postgraduate students.

New Procedures:

From now on, eligible DIT users (staff and research postgraduates) will have to apply online for membership. They will receive an e-mail confirmation that they have been accepted. This e-mail confirmation replaces the current SCONUL card, and can be used in the same way. Holders of the current SCONUL card may still get access to some libraries, but it is at the discretion of the local library. It is likely that they will no longer be accepted once the coming academic year starts.

The information on the library website has been updated, see HERE

Further information on the scheme can be found on the SCONUL Access website
