VLEbooks: 'It won't let me in without an organisation code'

Some of the university's ebooks are on the VLeBook platform. This - like Refworks and other Digital Library products - uses the Shibboleth login system for authentication so you do not need an Organisation ID to open up an ebook. Underneath the "Forgotten Password?" prompt, is a link to the Shibboleth Login route; just pick the University of Bedfordshire from the list of institutions and use your usual login details to access your personal VLeBooks account.

Use the "Shibboleth Login" link at the bottom to prove you belong to the University of Bedfordshire
If you link to a VLeBook from DISCOVER or the readinglists site, you will bypass this step. It only happens when people go straight to the external provider's website.
