What am I entitled to?
Each library has its own rules & regulations, which you must agree to abide by in order to take part in ‘Open To All’.
The amount and type of material you can borrow will vary between libraries, but you can find full details of what to expect on the Libraries & Catalogues Page.
Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions, ‘Open To All’ membership does not entitle you to use the computers and ICT facilities in many of the academic libraries, again, up to date details can be found on the Libraries & Catalogues Page.

Why should I join another Library?
Whether you are reading for leisure and pleasure, or learning and information, Libraries will have something for you.
Every Library will hold a different stock of material, with different titles and types of book. Some libraries will even hold unique collections of special interest.
You can search most of the libraries catalogues from the links on the Libraries & Catalogues Page. If you can’t find what you want, or you need some advice on the best library to go to for your needs, then please contact your local ATLIS library, and staff will be pleased to help and advise you.
