University PCs - saving work to the U Drive

I wasn’t aware that I needed to save my work to the U Drive and therefore lost all my work.

When using a PC in the LRC to create notes, or materials for an assignment or presentation it is essential that you save your work.

Remember to save your work regularly

As soon as you have created the document (that could mean writing the title). Save it to your network space on the U Drive.

• click on: File - (Top left hand tab)
• click on: Save As
• choose your U drive: Student Id Number
• Type the name of Document in File Name box (bottom of dialogue box)
• click Save
• after that it is OK to just click Save at regular intervals. Please don't rely on the autosave.

Very Important

Do not save files in My Documents or to the Desktop. These are networked PCs and any work saved like this will be lost.

Save to your University Network space Anywhere

• You may save your work to your University network space anytime you are using a device with access to the internet.
• Use the University of Bedfordshire Webstorage facility to access your University network space via the internet.

Log into: webstorage.beds.ac.uk
It will prompt you for your University ID and password

Reserved item

I am currently having difficulty whilst signing into my library catalogue in order to renew my book which is due today but I would like to renew it for another week. I will be grateful if you can assist me in this matter. 

Thank you for your enquiry. The reason you could not renew the book is that someone else has reserved this item and you are required to return it.

When you log into your library account and see HOLD next to an item it means that it has been reserved by someone else

Please return the book as soon as possible

Luton - Study Environment level 2

I am highly dissatisfied with the library and its services.

Not only are students talking loudly in the quiet areas, but there are no staffs on these floors to govern the way students behave. Yes they should know the rules, but staff should be governing the quiet floors as well just for certainty.

Silent Study floors: level 2 & 3 of Luton's LRC are designated Silent Study floors at the request of our students. Provision is made for group and social learning elsewhere in the LRC so there is an expectation for students to choose their preferred study environment and abide by the requirements. The Silent floors are monitored electronically and this is backed up by staff patrols - during staffed hours. Any student caught breaking the Silence requirement is allowed one warning after that Library sanctions come into effect. Student behaviour was a key theme at the recent Student Union conference. This is a university concern which is being looked at by staff, students themselves and the Student Union.

Level 2 is a silent floor I will ensure staff monitor this floor. No flags came through on the electronic monitoring I do apologise for the disrupted study environment. It should be silent

Luton LRC - CCTV

I think that more CCTV cameras are needed in the library

Thank you for your suggestion. The library has a reasonable level of CCTV coverage and this is backed up by LR staff presence or security patrols throughout the opening hours. As Luton LRC will be relocating to L Block in 2016 there will be no further investment in the current premises. Please be assured that the new library at Luton will have an appropriate level of CCTV coverage.

I must ask why you think more CCTV is necessary. Have you experienced a particular problem? If yes please let me know the details and I will try to help you.

Remote access

my log in details are no longer working……for Discover which as I am a mature student is a significant pain!

I am a returning student and so did my usual log in  which has not worked and have also tried the format which also does not work

I am sorry that you have been experiencing problems. I have checked your library account and it seems fine.

The University was experiencing problems with UK Access Management last week and I am thinking that maybe you caught the tail end of that
