IEEE

I am student of university of Bedfordshire, Luton

I have my university user ID and Password but I could't access the account. can u please resolve my problem as soon as possible.

I am sorry that you seem to have had a problem with IEEE. I have tested access this morning and it seems to be working and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your library account.

May I check your route into IEEE with you?

Start with the library catalogue

http://library.beds.ac.uk/search/D

Under Ejournal Collections drop down menu click on IEEE

 

Under browse institutions click on "U"

Scroll down to University of Bedfordshire click on that link

 

Log in with your library account details in the normal way

SPSS

I was just wondering how long it usually takes for a copy of the IMB SPSS statistical software to be burnt onto a blank disk please?

Thank you for your enquiry. The current version of SPSS (19) is a very large file and we do not recommend burning to a disk. Advice on LRWeb tells you how to download the software directly to your own laptop or desktop PC.

 

Please read through the instructions here:

http://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/libraryservices/pcsandsoftware/spss

and have a go.

 

If you do get stuck please ring for advice during staffed hours

Digital Resources

i am trying to read the electronic version of MMR and autism [electronic resource] : what parents need to know / Michael Fitzpatrick. but when i open the green tab 'read rental online' it opens but there is no writing at all. is this how the electronic book is or is this a problem with the book itself.

I would always advise that you look for electronic resources via the library catalogue

http://library.beds.ac.uk/

 

or the University's search application DISCOVER

http://0-search.ebscohost.com.brum.beds.ac.uk/login.aspx?authtype=ip,cookie,uid&profile=eds

 

Type the title of the resource in the search box click return

This will take you to a page with the title of the resource click on this then log in with your Library account log on

At the next page you will need to select how many days you require the download for - from a drop down menu

You need to have an up to date version of Adobe Reader (the page offers a link for you to do this if necessary)

Click on the down load button - it takes a few seconds to load and there you have it.

 

Please try this route and if you have any problems please ring (during staffed opening hours)

01234 793189

for phone support

 

I have tried to answer your question as thoroughly as possible. If you need me to expand further or if I have missed anything out please get back to me.

24/7 IT Suite

It says on the website that the Luton LRC will be open 24/7 25 March - 1 April staffed by security.

Just wanted to ask if the it suite will be open 24/7 over Easter and also from the 2nd April till the 15 April ??

Thank you for your enquiry as the IT Suite is part of the LRC it is open 24/7 too. So yes the IT Suite will be open over Easter 25 March - 1 April, staffed by security.

The only times it closes is when there are exams.

Please keep an eye on the Opening Hours web page

http://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/opening/ps-lrc

 

We make a note of exam bookings to advise all our customers that the IT Suite will be closed.

 

Remote access to Journals

I need access to the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy - please help

We are unable to provide you with electronic access to the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy due to the publisher's terms and conditions.

 

We do take it electronically and you should be able to access it as a "walk in user" if you came to any of our Campuses.

 

You can use SCONUL ACCESS and you may be able to access a print version of the journal. Apply to Sconul Access  using the on-line form:

http://www.sconul.ac.uk/sconul-access

Then check SUNCAT 

http://www.suncat.ac.uk/.  

to check availability of the journal in print.  Follow the link then enter the name of the journal you want  in the search box. The search results list the Universites which stock the journal.  Having done this if there is a University close to where you live ring them just to double check they have the title in print for the timeframe you want and you'll be able to access.

 

It also looks as though the British Library has the journal at St Pancras 

  http://www.bl.uk/ 

Click on the catalogue link from this page and search for the title.  It will then give you various options and advice about getting a readers pass.

Butterfield Students

I think Park Square campus is a more convenient place to study because it has a bigger IT Suite and easy access of food. I thought Butterfield Campus was used for using the simulation room and we hardly use it.

Any University of Bedfordshire student can use any or all of the campuses of the University. Park Square Luton might be convenient for the reasons you state but it also benefits from 24/7 opening (including Bank Holidays!!). Remember your ID card for swiping in and out and you can use the Luton Campus LRC as you need. You can also choose to collect your reservations from Park Square, Luton if you prefer.

Thesis

Is there a list or a database for the PhD theses submitted by our University students that I can have access to? 

The University repository stores all the University's digitised doctorate theses. You can access it here

http://uobrep.openrepository.com/uobrep/

 

If you are looking for a specific thesis that doesn't seem to be in the repository check in the Library Catalogue using the Advanced search tab. In "Material Type" pull down the drop down menu and select "DISSERTATION". Some of the older PhDs have not been digitised yet
