Endnote

I asked the IT to upload the endnote in my laptop, but she told me you have to pay.


Could you please contact them to let them uploaded to me free like my colleagues.

I have investigated your enquiry and can report that
You declined to have the software installed on a research graduate school laptop. The University does not have a licence to install the software on personal devices.

Your friends had the software installed on a research graduate school laptop not a personal device.

If you expressly wish to use your MAC you will need to purchase a copy of End Note. If you want a free copy you will need to use a research graduate school laptop.

Putteridge Bury

Please could there be a drop off point at the Putteridge bury campus for all the library books for the students who only regularly go to this campus on part time courses. 

Thank you for your suggestion. I am sorry but that is not possible at this time. I will take your request for consideration to LRSE managers when we look at Campus provision in the Spring with any changes being  announced by May 2018.

I would strongly advise you to use another Campus for resources and use of the study environment. The main Luton Campus isn't too far away from Putteridge Bury and is open 24/7

NVIVO on MACS

Please can we have NVIVO on the library's MACs as well as the PCs?

Our Technical Service Manager says: by 12.11.17 I should have the new licence code so I can install NVIVO on the MACs then

Alumnus Digital Access

I want to access to e library keeping update. I can't login. Please, could you help me

Unfortunately we are not able to provide remote access to digital resources to past staff or students.  This is stipulated in the contracts we have agreed with the information publishers.

However many of the titles are available to be used by Alumni if they are able to visit the library in person.  Have you applied for and received a library alumi pass?  An application form can be found here:


Alumnus Membership

I graduated from MSc pharmacology. I want to access to e library keeping update. I can't login. Please, could you help me.


Once you have graduated from the University, you no longer have your University IT accounts and cannot access the online resources provided for current students.

You may take out a membership of the library, but this will not give you access to digital resources.

Details at the link below:

lrweb.beds.ac.uk
Print off and complete the form, send it with a passport style photo and any remittance to: Sarah Arkle Head of Reader Services University of Bedfordshire

Once you gain Alumni access to the University’s library you may access a limited range of digital materials on Campus via guest wifi with your own laptop or tablet or the kiosk PC (ask staff for details). Details are on our website

Due to the licencing arrangements the University has with digital resource providers no-one external to the University may have remote access to any digital products and may only have limited access to some digital products on Campus. These are binding arrangements with significant consequences if not adhered to.


Using Sconul Access

Thank you for setting up my Sconul Access account. Is there a way for me to access the online ebooks?

You need to ask the host institution this question. If you have your own laptop or tablet make sure its authenticated to Eduroam on a University of Bedfordshire campus before you visit. It will save you data and help your access.

I imagine you will have Walk In access to a limited range of their resources via Eduroam - but check with them

Please don’t forget that you can still access University of Bedfordshire digital resources remotely via Eduroam.

Sconul Access

I am currently on placement at Luton. My university made me aware of the Sconul scheme to access other university libraries and they have approved my application. I would like to discuss the possibility with you of working within the University of Bedfordshire library at weekends to allow me to complete my module work for the year. 

As you have authorisation to use the Sconul Access scheme please see our information for Sconul Access applicants on our website
