I am a retired scholar, after many years of being a senior lecturer ..... Despite being formally retired, I continue to
research and an eventual lecturer of post graduate courses ......
I will be living four more months in England.The research, I am working in this moment, is related to the role of religion in the best hundred universities of the world, according to QS 2012 Ranking. I am in the last stage of this work. For this reason
I need to check some data into the post graduate research sources that you have at your library.
The University of Bedfordshire's primary focus is its own students and
staff. That said we are happy to welcome visitors in a limited capacity. The
level of service available depends on an individual's circumstances.
Your email does not specify your current status is so I am going to have to
make some assumptions.
I assume that your research is for personal development and not
specifically affiliated to a nominated course of study. If that is incorrect
please let me know what your research is for and which university you are
studying in and I will explain the options available to you.
If you are not a member of staff or a researcher at a specific University
at the moment you may subscribe for reference access to our resources. The
annual charge is £25 - if you can prove that you are entitled to a concessionary
rate the annual charge would be £10. There is no loan facility associated with
this level of membership. Please note no external customers are allowed remote
access to our electronic resources and only very limited access to electronic
resources on campus (via personal laptops or our kiosk PCs - there are two on
Campus in Luton).
Walk in access ie on campus access, to electronic resources is outlined
here
If you do want to borrow print items the annual subscription charge is £60.
If you can prove that you are eligible to a concessionary rate the charge is
£30. This subscription allows you to use the LRC as a study base and borrow up
to 4 items at a time. You would also be entitled to 2 University of Bedfordshire
reservations (at a time) should you need it. As stated above no external
customers are allowed remote access to our electronic resources and only very
limited access to electronic resources on campus (via personal laptops or our
kiosk PCs - there are two of these on Campus in Luton).
Our website has a number of pages of advice for people interested in
applying to be external customers of the University of Bedfordshire. I would
advise you to read them.
