Veterinary Nursing: Other libraries

Using other libraries

If your research is very specialised you may wish to use additional libraries, or maybe there is a library nearer to your home or to where you are on placement.. On this page you will find details of how to do this and some of the resources available via other libraries.
SCONUL Access Scheme
Not all libraries are open to user from other institutions. Always check the SCONUL website for the latest information.

SCONUL Access Scheme

Middlesex University is a member of the SCONUL Access scheme.

You can request access to other university libraries free of charge online at the link below.

How to Use Other Libraries

SCONUL Access is a scheme which allows many university library users to use study spaces or books and journals at other libraries which belong to the scheme. Some library users may be able to borrow print books from other libraries too. 

  • To find library resources in London and south east England, use Search25.
  • Always check the webpages of the library you intend to visit to ensure they will be open.
