I am a postgraduate student studying for a Masters in English Literature. I am currently doing some
research for my final dissertation project on the novels of Jane Austen.
I have an Associate Library Access Card for the University
of Bedfordshire, to allow me access to the library and its resources. I visited yesterday to borrow some books, and found
that I was limited to borrowing a maximum of 4 books.
I understand that not being a University of Bedfordshire
student, I am not entitled to the full borrowing allowance of 20 books, but I
wondered due to the nature of my research, if it would be possible to increase
the number of books I am allowed to borrow at any one time? The library has a
lot of books relating to Jane Austen, and I would like to utilise these if
possible.
Any advice you can provide on this matter would be much
appreciated.
Many thanks for your enquiry. Within the
terms of the Sconul Access scheme all our external associate members have the
same loan allowances. It is set into our Library Management System. I am sorry I cannot extend your loan
entitlement.
