Scotland's Rural College (formerly Scottish Agricultural College)
Edinburgh University Library has a reciprocal borrowing agreement with the Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) Library. This allows all current staff and matriculated students at University of Edinburgh free borrowing at SRUC.
How do I register?
You must complete an application form. You can pick up an application form from the EdHelp Service desk in the Main Library, or any site Library Helpdesk, or you can download the form:
