Luton - Business books

There should be adequate supply of text books so that they are available at any time and can be borrowed for a reasonable length of time. Smetimes, we are advised to pruchase books. For example, we have to purchase a book written by Clegg et al at the cost of £43, which is sometimes difficult for us..

Last year the University made a significant additional investment in Library materials which has provided more print copies of core essential reading The investment also purchased more e books to provide wider reading around your subject.

As a Masters student you are expected to buy a few books for University yourself. Learning Resources does buy multiple copies of core texts I would advise you to make use of the Reservation service to ensure you get to borrow the core texts

In addition you might like to know that the University is undertaking a medium term project called readinglists (readinglists.beds.ac.uk)to change the focus and role of reading lists from just a list of citations to a more relevant and accessible document.  A reading list should tell you what you should be reading and when during your course and as far as possible making that material accessible to you.  We are working towards the latter either by obtaining in full text (the whole book or a chapter or article) and making it available on BREO or ensuring we have acceptable numbers of print copies in the library using appropriate loan statuses to try and ensure everyone on the course has the opportunity to access and use the book when they need to
