Digital library

I am enroled on a school direct PGCE course and should have access to the library service online. However, at the moment my account is not being recognised. 



I am sorry you are experiencing problems with accessing the digital library. I have checked your accounts and they all seem to be fine

When you authenticate you need to use
username: university ID number
password: your date of birth - two digits for each element, no spaces or punctuation eg 010101

We advise that you start with the library catalogue or DISCOVER and search the University's resources from there ie do not go directly to the publications website


If this doesn't help please ring Bedford library and they will talk through the process with you and iron out the specific problems you may be having
