I am emailing as I am looking to do my dissertation for next
year to see how a child's physical activity levels can affect their spatial
awareness and anticipation. However I have come across problems with
being able to access resources online, as when i try to log in through Athens
or Sibbath (to log in through the uni) it says I do not have access. Is
this something that can be sorted out so i can get access to the resources on
spatial awareness, or am i going to have to redo my idea.
I hope something can be done as I do not have any other diss
ideas.
Thank
you for your enquiry. I am sorry that you seem to be having problems with using
the digital library. I am sure that there are plenty of resources available to
support your dissertation idea. Shibboleth and Athens are not resources in
their own right you have to use the catalogue or DISCOVER to find materials in
the first place.
If you try use ATHENS you will have no success
as the University does not use this tool

The
University uses Shibboleth - UK Access Management Federation - as an authentication tool.

May I
check with you on how you are accessing digital resources?
We

on the Digital Library tab
http://library.beds.ac.uk/search/D
Using
the search boxes to define your search then click go. As you click into the
resources you will be asked to sign in. You do that with your normal University

button and sign in with your normal University username and password.
