Alumnus membership

I hold a Masters degree from University of Bedfordshire and I am enquiring about membership of your Library. Primarily it is for remote online access to on-line journals.


Do you offer this to Alumni?

Thank you for your enquiry. University of Bedfordshire does not offer remote access to digital resources to Alumni at the moment due to licencing restrictions. We are looking into this but cannot foresee a change in the next few months
There is walk in access to a limited range of digital resources on Campus
http://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/libraryservices/exusers/walkindigitalresources
You may use the Guest WiFi network on your own laptop Or you may use the Guest PC (one in each LRC) on a first come first served basis.You will not have access to any of your old University IT accounts or to the Digital Library.
You are eligible for Reference Membership which is Free - no loans
This means you can use the space in learning resources and all the print materials on a reference (ie in library) basis for free – ie no charge. This does not allow any borrowing of materials

Or Alumnus Associate Membership – which allows borrowing - is £30 per annum
This means you can use the space in learning resources and all the print materials on a reference (ie in library) basis – for a heavily reduced charge of £30 per year. You can borrow up to 4 items at a time (from the standard and 7 day print collection)
