Using Other Libraries
Warwick is a member of a number of schemes which allow you to access other university libraries. The main scheme is SCONUL Access. This replaces previous schemes, such as UK Libraries Plus or SCONUL Research Extra.
Note: under these schemes, you will not be able to access the electronic resources provided by those libraries. However, you can search many libraries' catalogues for free on the web.
