am wondering if you can help me.
I am a disabled student and have a L&TSA which states:
The Learning Resource
Centre (Library) at the University of Bedfordshire
|
Notes for
Student
As a student who has
declared a disability, you have assistive status. This allows you access to a
range of additional support available from the Learning Resource
Centres
|
· I understand that
information on how to use the Library and its associated resources can be found
on the University of Bedfordshire’s Library web pages http://www.beds.ac.uk/studentlife/library
(includes Putteridgebury and hospital education centres)
|
At my previous university I was allowed to borrow books for a longer period
due to the time it takes me to read and study sections. Is this the case within
this university?
Also can you advise me as to the additional support which is available as
to the statement above.
Thank you for your enquiry. Welcome to the University of
Bedfordshire.
There is a wealth of information available to you both in person and
on-line. Details of the range of services available for Assistive students from
Learning Resources appear in our Handbook and on our web pages. I would advise
you to look through that information so you are aware of what is available to
you
In answer to your specific query. University of Bedfordshire does not offer
extended loan periods. You are however entitled to unlimited renewals (unless
the item is requested by another customer). Fines will be waived but other
associated sanctions will apply.
This means that you must remember to renew your books on time ie when they
become due. Renewals are automated so please dial
