Tell Us Survey feedback - UCMK

You said:
More books for early years and education studies as we all need similar books at the same time which makes it
 impossible to access what we need and I end up having to buy them.
Just frustration over books and that uni students that attend Bedford campus who live in MK can take books out
from our small campus library when theirs is much bigger and it is the one they attend.

We said: I am sorry there has been demand for similar books at similar times. As a degree 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 textsThe reservations service will bring you books from any Campus.

We operate a High Demands Holds monitoring service which helps us put interventions in if the list is longer than two people eg direct them to an electronic resources, buy another copy of the item (if its available) or ask an Academic Liaison Librarian to suggest an alternative title
I would advise you to use the Recommend a Resource service if you have any specific books in mind
