Library account login problem

We have had a few people reporting issues logging into library resources with their usual password.



If this happens to you, please go to https://password.beds.ac.uk and reset your password. This will cascade the new password to all UoB systems including the library system, and should solve the problem. If it does not, contact us and we will investigate further.

New feature in Reading Lists - Report a broken link

There is a new feature in all of our reading lists - you can now report any links that don't work directly to us. You can find it by clicking the 3 dots on the right, either from the list view or from the expanded item view


















When you click Report broken link, you'll get this screen













If you choose "Get notified or add details", you can put in your details and a description of the problem, otherwise choose "Report" and we will just get details of which reading list item was a problem.

If you are having any other problems getting access to resources, you can still email us directly.
