Luton - silent study

i am on the second floor in the individual computer green booths and the female opposite me in braids keeps rapping really loud with headphones on i cannot concentrate and it is frustrating 

Thank you for raising your concerns. I sympathise with your frustration but level 2 is a social learning floor. If you need silent study you need to use the silent study rooms on levels 4, 5 & 6

Sconul Access

I live in Bedfordshire and am a current student in Liverpool, I was wondering whether your libraries are open to the public?

I will be starting my post grad with you in September but I would love to be able to use your library to complete my current work while at home if this is a possibility?

 Thank you for your enquiry. Please check with your home institution but I believe you are eligible to use the Sconul Access scheme. This is a free scheme but it is a 2 step process. If Liverpool tell you that you can apply for authorisation apply for that as advised then wait for the authorisation email. Once you have that you may apply to the University of Bedfordshire.

Once we receive your application for and photo it will take 10 working days to process.

Sconul Access

Please see below my approved Sconul Access. I have spoken to Security, who have told me that can't find my card.

I have used Sconul previously, and my photograph and other details will be on your system.


I need to start using the library as soon as possible, so can you kindly arrange for this by this week.

Thank you for your enquiry. As you will know from using the Sconul Access scheme you will need to re-apply to progress a new membership card. Authorisation to use the service is only step 1.

If you have your old University of Bedfordshire membership card send it in with your application form and it will be processed quickly. If you no longer have the card we will need a new photo (we do not keep ex- members’ photos on file). Once we have received your application for and photo it will take 10 working days to process

Tablets for loan

Soon I will start my data collection for my dissertation.

I wanted to ask if I can borrow a tablet from the library.

I have a passive task and participants are require to watch  a short video on a table as computer will be used for EEG.

Please let me know if I can borrow a tablet.

If not please advice me if any of the departments can help me to borrow one.

Many thanks for your enquiry. University of Bedfordshire Learning Resources and Service Excellence does not loan tablets. I am sorry I cannot help you with this.

Luton Campus Library loans laptops for use within the library only (without exception) so I cannot even offer you this as alternative.

I would advise you to check with your lecturer to see if your department has equipment for loan

Text book citations

I was wondering if someone could help me understand what the numbers in brackets at the end of a sentence from a text book paragraph mean i have copied and pasted an example.

Symptom dimensions actually reflect groups of symptoms that generally occur together and may explain a part of the phenotypic variation between patients [4,5,6,7,8]. First concepts to classify symptomatology stem from Kraepelin’s original distinction between affective and non-affective psychoses with ‘dementia praecox’ [9].

Thank you for your enquiry. If you look at the end of the chapter you will find a reference list, showing where the information has come from. Each item in the reference list will be numbered. Where there is more than one number [4, 5, 6, 7, 8], this means that multiple sources have provided that information.

There is on-line supprt for your course here

On Campus I would advise you to take advantage of the Study Hub team

Wondering if you can help.

I am studying MA Strategic Marketing . I am doing the distance learning course and based in Milton Keynes. I was wondering if I could use you campus library facilities for my study.

This will include, WiFi, library space, textbooks if you have the ones I need etc.

I would use the public library but they get very noisy. I spoke to a friend of mine who studies distance learning at University of Law and I’ve been told local universities have a facility to let non students use their facility as long as they are a student elsewhere?

If you can do this can you let me know what I need to do or provide you with?

Thank you for your enquiry about use of University of Bedfordshire library facilities.

Your University is not part of the Sconul Access scheme so there isn’t free membership route for you to use.
