Summary:

"What is the Access to Research Initiative?

  • The Access to Research service is a new initiative to give free, walk-in access to a wide range of academic articles and research in public libraries across the UK
  • On the back of a successful technical trial, run in libraries from ten local authorities (September - December 2013), the service is being rolled out across the UK from January 2014 as part of a two year pilot
  • Subjects include art, architecture, business, engineering, history, languages, politics, philosophy, mathematics and the sciences
  • All content provided is digital and can be accessed from your designated library terminal, via a search delivery service called Summon."
