Access to other libraries
Universities of Dundee and Abertay Dundee
A reciprocal agreement exists between the libraries of the 3 local universities (St Andrews, Dundee and Abertay) which allows staff and students of these institutions to borrow certain material from any of these libraries free of charge.
St Andrews students and staff members need to produce their university ID cards in order to join at either of the other local universities. Information on what you will be entitled to access is available from the Dundee University and Abertay websites respectively. Membership of Dundee University Library will give St Andrews students access to all 7 of the University’s site libraries.
Please note that as a student or member of staff from St Andrews, you will not normally be able to access the electronic resources or PC network of our neighbouring universities.
