Alumnus Membership

I am an alumni of UOB from 2011 batch.
I wanted to enquire about what I can do to extend my digital library access. I was using it for till now but it just got expired a couple of weeks ago.

Looking forward to your reply.

Many thanks for your enquiry. Congratulations on graduating from the University of Bedfordshire. I see that your student library account expired on 11.4.17 this is why you no longer have access to the digital library.

If you wish to continue using University of Bedfordshire library resources in any capacity you will need to apply for Alumnus access. All Alumnus membership rights are described on our web page


This clearly states
As a graduate of the University of Bedfordshire you are welcome to apply for membership of Learning Resources. This applies to UK based Alumni as or membership offer is based on physical access to the study space and print resources. There is no remote access to digital resources for UK or overseas alumni.

Alumni Reference Membership is Free - no loans
Alumni Associate Membership – which allows borrowing - is £30 per annum
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.

Due to licensing restrictions University of Bedfordshire cannot extend access to the digital library remotely.

If you are on Campus as an Alumnus member you will have access to the limited range resources listed here

I hope this helps
