Giving YOU access to University Library Collections
  reader in stacks right

TV-Inspire is a co-operative scheme supported by seven University and eight Public Library services in the Thames Valley region. (Click on the logos below to view each Library's web pages.)

This group is working together in and around the Thames Valley in order to expand knowledge and provide information to the local community.

We are committed to assisting you with your personal study and research needs and if you cannot find the information you need in your own library, the great wealth of resources within the partner university libraries is now available to you through this scheme.


To make use of this scheme you will need to:

1. Complete a form with your details, indicating your needs/interests along with the required ID.

2. Have it signed by a member of staff at your public library. These forms are available from your Public Library or you can download a copy from the website:
http://www.inspire.gov.uk/pdf/tvi_reference_form.pdf

Staff in your Public Library may be able to give you directions or information about the library you wish to visit - if not look at that library's website, the address is on the form or click on the links below.

3. Once the form has been signed by your library, take it, with two forms of ID (one with photo) to the library of your choice.

Further details can be accessed from the following web address:
http://www.inspire.gov.uk/pdf/tvi_flowchart.pdf,

TV Inspire: a reference only scheme, for over 19s, supported and managed by your Public Library.

Please note, as the first responsibility of all university libraries is to their own users, this scheme allows access to university libraries for reference only.
