Bright pink background featuring a quote from an OU student about SCONUL Access that reads: "I like the fact that I can use a variety of resources offered by other universities, whilst the OU has a wealth of resources that I enjoy and find supportive, going to other universities gives me the chance to use various types of software and technology that I would not have been exposed to otherwise."
SCONUL Access allows #OUstudents to use nearby university libraries, giving access to dependable internet, desks, and study facilities. 📚💻
It’s a practical option if home isn’t always ideal - and another way to stay connected to your OU studies.
