Access and Borrowing Schemes

Students and staff in higher education

Higher education students and staff can access most of our libraries via SCONUL Access. SCONUL Access allows many university library users reciprocal access at other libraries which belong to the scheme. For more details and how to apply click here.

 

Other access schemes

WHELF institutions are also members of  a number of cross-sectoral and community borrowing schemes to allow access to their library for the general public and the local community.

Libraries Together Passport Scheme

The Libraries Together Passport Scheme enables any members of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Powys and Pembrokeshire public, FE, HE, or NHS/Health library services to access or borrow* from any of the institutions listed.
