This website outlines the Library services that Bournemouth University, the Arts Institute and the Colleges in the south west each provide for their own students. You are welcome to use the libraries of institutions where you are not a student, but they may not allow you to borrow books.

UK Libraries Plus is a national co-operative venture between higher education libraries. It enables part-time, distance learning and placement students to borrow from other libraries in close proximity to where they live or work. Visit the UK Libraries Plus web site at http://www.uklibrariesplus.ac.uk for more information or ask library staff for details.

SCONUL hosts a national service whereby students on HE courses can access university and higher education college libraries in the UK and Ireland on a vacation membership scheme. This normally permits reference access, free of charge, during the vacations. Some libraries may offer limited borrowing. Visit the SCONUL website at: http://www.sconul.ac.uk/using_other_libraries/vacation.html for more information or ask library staff for details.

A printed version of this site appears in leaflet form - available from any of the participating libraries.
