Sadly you don't get a discount for already having the DVDs :-(
Also the library doesn't do loans to students (except local ones). If there's something you really need, try sweet-talking your tutor (or me - I may end up living in Oxford but commuting back to MK, at least for a while). The catalogue is publicly searchable at http://voyager.open.ac.uk/. Once you've signed up on a course, you get a computer id which lets you into all the e-books and e-journals which are pretty extensive. You can join a local academic library to borrow books on the UKlibraries plus scheme (see http://www.uklibrariesplus.ac.uk/) - OU students can only join one library and in Oxford only Brookes is in the scheme - but that's probably your closest academic library anyway. All the course materials are in the regional office, so if you can get yourself up to Boar's Hill in working hours you can have a good browse of them all before you decide. I can e-mail you any of the shorter stuff (such as assignments) - the main teaching texts probably won't fit through the mail server tho'.
