SCONUL Access
From Monday 15th November, City students can apply for SCONUL Access to access university libraries around the country. You can submit your application via SCONUL website. Not all university libraries have resumed their participation in the scheme – this means that City students will not be able to use these libraries (such as LSE and London Met).
City University students can also use Senate House library which is the central library for the University of London. You will need to fill in the online registration form to use the library. Senate House is an iconic Modernist building designed by Charles Holden which is located in Bloomsbury. It has appeared in many popular films, including Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises. The reading rooms are wonderfully atmospheric with tall wooden bookshelves and comfy sofas.
