Sconul

The Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) represents all university libraries in the UK and Ireland, irrespective of mission group, as well as national libraries and many libraries with collections of national significance.

Newman's membership within Sconul allows our students and staff to access other libraries within the society. It also allows for members of other institutions to use our library.
