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.
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.
