Other academic libraries are the institutions you are most likely to visit in the course of your research. To help you more easily gain access to them, national and regional schemes have been established. Each of these regional schemes operate under their own rules and you will need to familiarise yourself with the requirements of each schemey.

Please note that, you may (although this is by no means guaranteed) be able to get access to printed material in other academic libraries quite easily, restrictions may be placed on access to electronic resources. The licensing agreements which academic libraries sign often allow them to give access only to staff and students of that particular institution. If necessary, contact the institution concerned.
