Borrowing

All you need to know about library membership, borrowing and loans

Library Services aims to provide you with all the resources you need for your studies at BGU.  However, we also encourage you to find out about and make the most of what other library and information services have to offer.  This can be particularly useful if you are living some distance from BGU, or need to access specialist resources.

SCONUL Access

BGU is a member of the SCONUL Access Scheme (which allows registered current BGU students and staff to use and in some cases borrow from other University Libraries who are also members)

For further information about joining the scheme please visit https://access.sconul.ac.uk/

The British Library
