Sconul Access

I am a full time undergraduate at Cambridge University, and I live near
the University of Bedfordshire's Polihill Avenue campus. Does you have
any regulations regarding external users of the library? I would be
interested in using the library at the Bedford campus during holidays in
order to study and use books for reference. I do not request borrowing
privileges.

I am aware that there is the SCONUL access scheme, but I have been told
that there is an informal agreement that most university libraries are
available for (limited) use by full time students from other universities.

The summer vacation co-operation scheme would allow access mid - June to September. Cambridge University is not a member of the Sconul Access scheme so I regret you cannot take advantage of this.
