Sconul Vacation Scheme

I am doing a dissertation module at the Oxford Brookes University.

I do not know if you allow students from other UK universities to use your Library facilities. I am interested in using the library to study and write my dissertation. Kindly let me know if this is a possibility as it would be very helpful to me since I live in Aylesbury and your 24/7 library time is very attractive and would help me immensely.


Thank you for your enquiry. Do you have an Oxford Brookes ID card? If yes you may use University of Bedfordshire Learning Resources as a part of the Sconul Access Vacation Scheme.

Please check with Oxford Brookes

We have information here:
The Sconul Vacation scheme is available during University of Bedfordshire's summer vacation only. That means June 14th to October 4th 2014. You will need your home University id card at all times.

Due to swipe access at Luton LRC and Bedford Library you are advised to apply for Summer Reference access to enable unmediated access. You will need a passport style photo for this. Without a Summer Reference membership card you will not have access post 18.00.

Walk in access only, for students from institutions that do not support Eduroam. Reference access to print stock. Will need swipe access passes at Luton and Bedford.

If you need access beyond 4 October it would be worth applying for a Sconul Access card. Please check with Oxford Brookes.

If not you may pay for Reference or Associate access information here

24/7 x 365 library access is available at our Bedford Library or Luton LRC Aylesbury’s opening times are here:
