Following review of visitor policies for SCONUL and Independent Researchers, the following changes will be implemented from Monday 28 October 2024:
Students and staff from universities that are part of the SCONUL Access scheme are eligible to apply for access to our libraries.
SCONUL categories users into bands:
Bands A-C may borrow up to 6 books and access our libraries at anytime outside of restricted exam periods
Band R (Undergraduates) are reference only and access to Mile End Library during term time is restricted to 'off-peak' hours (Monday to Friday 18:00-00:00 and Saturday to Sunday 08:00-00:00) and will also be restricted during exam periods
SCONUL members do not have access to PCs, e-resources or print services and we reserve the right to restrict access during exam periods.
You will be able to join the QM Visitor Wi-Fi or use Eduroam with your home institution login.
Please remember that without these documents no cards will be issued.
We aim to process and prepare SCONUL cards for collection within 7 working days, outside of restricted access periods.
