I am feeding back that me and the students on my Applied
Education course at Putteridge Bury are no longer able to reserve books from
Polhill Library to be collected at Putteridge Bury Library. Whilst many books
are available as ebooks there are many I have needed for my research proposal
that are only available at Polhill. I think it is unreasonable to expect
students to travel to another campus when we are part time students, most of us
working and many whom live a long way away. Currently I am lucky enough to have
been able to visit Polhill but many of my fellow students cannot make this
journey and I do feel this is not giving them an equal opportunity to access
reading materials. I would appreciate this matter being reviewed with some
urgency.
Due to circumstances beyond our control we can no longer
staff Putteridge Bury library. This means that Putteridge Bury stock cannot be
reserved and Putteridge Bury is no longer a reservation collection point. When
you reserve other materials from the library catalogue please select the next
most convenient campus to collect your books from ie Butterfield LRC, Luton
LRC, Bedford Library, Aylesbury LRC or UCMK
Access to the print stock is offered for a limited time and
the University would ask you to issue and return your items without staff help.
If you get stuck please ring 01582 743895 for assistance
You are advised to take advantage of Luton LRC or Bedford
Library as they are open 24/7 x 365
We are trying to work on an interim solution so we can
re-introduce the reservations service so in the meanwhile please select the
next most convenient campus to collect your books from ie Butterfield LRC,
Luton LRC, Bedford Library, Aylesbury LRC or UCMK
