Borrowing books (external membership)

If you would like to borrow books then you can join as an external member.

  • University of Brighton graduates and retired staff: free access, renewable annually.
  • Other external members: £70 per year

Staff and students from other universities may be able to join for free via the SCONUL Access scheme. Applications must be approved via SCONUL Access and then a  University of Brighton (UoB) external library membership application form completed and sent to library@brighton.ac.uk  who will advise you about  collecting your University of Brighton external library card.

Students on Access to Higher Education courses at colleges in the LASER Learning Awards Access Validating Agency are entitled to free membership for the duration of their course.

External membership entitles you to borrow six books, for three weeks at a time (long loan category only), from any of our libraries. Loans will be automatically renewed if not required by another borrower.

Our libraries specialise in particular subjects so we recommend you search our library catalogue to find out which library holds the books you are interested in and on your application form request to collect your membership card from that site. Please email the application form to library@brighton.ac.uk and you will be contacted once your library card is ready for collection.

Should you be ineligible for membership, you may still use our libraries for reference purposes.

Please email library@brighton.ac.uk if you have any queries.
