Top searches in DISCOVER in August

 This is what you've all been searching for in DISCOVER over the last month:

 There is currently a problem with the Wiley ejournal site.  Wiley are working to fix this as soon as possible.




BREO - problems with links, and finding reading lists

BREO has been upgraded over the summer and will look a bit different to last year.

If you find that any links don't work for you, try logging into BREO in a different browser. Chrome seems to be giving the most problems, so try using Firefox or Edge instead.

Reading lists are now a little bit harder to find - you need to click on Books and Tools from the left-hand menu, and then choose Reading List (LTI)

If you cannot see these options, it is because your lecturer has not converted your unit correctly to the new format, so please contact them directly. You can still access your reading list by going to http://readinglists.beds.ac.uk and searching for your unit code or title.
