The ALCID Scheme is a co-operative venture between most of the higher education libraries in Ireland. It enables staff and eligible students to gain access to the collections of other participating libraries. The Scheme does not permit borrowing. If you plan to visit a university library in the UK, you must use SCONUL Access.
For further details on ALCID, including a list of participating libraries, visit the ALCID webpage.
