Associated Libraries

Students registered for courses with EIDTS
are entitled to access books from designated libraries in each of the
main centres. Listed below are libraries with whom we have a working
relationship. Students need to make their own arrangements to borrow
books from each of these libraries. Some books may also be available
through the inter-loan system. Requests may be lodged with any
university or local library.
