I Love the Library - How Do I Access It?

Find Out if Your Institution Subscribes: We have had some feedback from keen fashion scholars who are not sure whether their institution subscribes. If you want to check, go to your library homepage and see if it is listed and then try to access it. If it isn't, do use the library recommendation form http://www.bergfashionlibrary.com/fileasset/Encyclopedia/Lib_Rec_Form_March12.pdf if you would like to see this resource in your library.

Treat Yourself to an Individual Subscription: If your library does not subscribe, don't forget that individual subscriptions are also available. Just get in touch http://www.bergfashionlibrary.com/page/howtoorder/how-to-order to discuss a tailored quote with our team and have it all to yourself!
