Sconul Access

 You said:

I’m an undergraduate student at Durham University, and I am currently in Bedford for a few weeks. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to use the university of Bedfordshire library (Bedford site) while I am in Bedford?

If so, would I need to go through SCONUL access? Or is there another way? I have sent off an application through SCONUL a few days ago but haven’t heard back.
