As a law student I find it very difficult to get hold of the
books I want. There is not enough books especially to do with Public
International law. If books are not handed in for others to borrow card should
be blocked sooner
This concern seems to have two strands which I will try to answer.
Not enough books: Please contact your academic liaison librarian Alan Bullimore
http://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/help/ALLs/Alan_Bullimore
and have a look at the on-line subject guide Alan has created for Law students:
http://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/law
Alan will get the loan status changed of the item you specify if possible - in other words if its a standard loan item (2 weeks) he will get it changed to 7 day loan item.
Alan will also contact the unit leader after speaking to you and we may be able to digitise key chapters from certain texts to improve access.
Alan will also try to prioritise Public International Law texts when more funds become available
Reserved items not being returned: we are reviewing the problem of non returned reserved items as a service. Some of the key solutions which are a mixture of we as a service can supply and you as an individual can pursue are:
to identify a chapter of a key text and make it electronically available via BREO
check the public library catalogue to see if a copy may be borrow from that source (you will need to join and get your own library card and PIN number to access it on-line): https://vpoint.culturalservices.net/bedford/
look for alternative titles at the same classification number
consider buying a copy for yourself
I have tried to answer your question as thoroughly as possible. If
you need me to expand further or if I have missed anything out please get back
to me.
