New subscription to the Times Higher Education online

Learning Resources and Service Excellence is delighted to announce a new digital subscription to the Times Higher Education.

The Times Higher Education is a weekly publication for both staff and students containing news, features, book reviews, and opinion pieces relating to Higher Education. The digital subscription also includes access to the World University Rankings, which measures institutional performance using data across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.

 

To access the Times Higher Education online, go to https://www.timeshighereducation.com/ and register using your University of Bedfordshire email address. It is important that you use your Bedfordshire email address to register, not your personal email address, as this is how they identify you as a member of the University of Bedfordshire with a right to access.

When you register you will be asked to create a unique password that must contain at least three types of characters from the following: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, special characters. You will also be asked to provide your name and answer some brief questions about your affiliation with the University.

We hope you enjoy you access to Times Higher Education. Please let us know what you think via Tell Us  and get in touch with your Academic Liaison Librarian  or library.technical@beds.ac.uk with any questions.
