UCS Libraries

University of East Anglia

You also have access to resources through University of East Anglia (UEA). To use the resources you will need to apply for a UEA library card. this can be done at the Library helpdesk here at UCS Ipswich.

  • Borrow up to 10 books
  • Access databases and e-journals through the library catalogue (some restrictions apply)

University of Essex

  • UCS students may use the library at University of Essex for reference purposes only.
  • UCS teaching staff and postgraduate students may apply for a University of Essex Library card. We have application forms at the UCS Library Ipswich helpdesk. Teaching staff and postgraduate students can also make use of walk-in access to electronic resources.

UCS is now a member of the SCONUL scheme. This is a reciprocal agreement between Higher Education libraries across the UK, and facilitates reference use for undergraduates, and some borrowing privileges for Masters and Doctorate researchers as well as academic staff.
