Staff and students from other Higher Education Institutions that are members of the SCONUL Access scheme are welcome to join the Library at Walton Hall in order to borrow books, use study spaces, and connect to the wireless internet.
Staff and students at non-SCONUL Universities or other HE Institutions may use the Library at Walton Hall for reference and study purposes only.
You need to ask your home institution for a SCONUL Access acceptance email before visiting the Open University Library if you wish to use these services.
If your home institution provides Eduroam Wifi you will be able to use wifi in the Library at Walton Hall. You can check the Eduroam website to see if your institution provides this service. You must speak to your home institution's IT support before visiting the Library at Walton Hall as you may have to register or set up the service at your home institution before being able to use it elsewhere.
Alternative WiFi is provided by The Cloud.
