Online Materials & SCONUL access:

It's worth remembering that most of the books we buy for HYMS are available electronically, so you should be able to access them wherever you are this Christmas. The same goes for our other e-resources. If you prefer something physical, you're in the UK or Ireland, and there's another university library nearby, you can always sign up to the SCONUL Access scheme which can get you into a large number of university libraries across the country. More details are available from the links below:

We hope you have a great Christmas break and enjoy your holidays.

Best wishes, HYMS Library Team
