We are having some issues with the library catalogue today. Please bear with us while we try to sort this out.  Most of our resources are available via DISCOVER, which is working normally.

Library system upgrade 25th June

We are going to be upgrading our library system from 1pm on Tuesday 25th June. Access on Wednesday 26th will only be affected if there have been problems.

During the downtime the library catalogue, self issue/return machines, book renewals and reservations will be unavailable. You may still borrow and return books at the customer service desks.

Wi-Fi installation at Luton Campus - from Thursday 20th June 2024

What are ICT doing? The Wi-Fi system is being upgraded. Contractors will be installing new Wi-Fi access points throughout the Luton Campus.   When will this be?   The installation will take up to 6 weeks to complete and the work will begin on Thursday, 20 June 2024.   What will be affected?   Wi-Fi access in the installation areas within the Luton Campus will have short periods of localised disruption (perhaps 10-15 minutes) while Wi-Fi hardware is replaced.  Before any work is undertaken in the local area, the contractors will inform impacted users.   Why are we doing this?   The upgrade will deliver the following benefits: Simplified guest access to 'Guest-UOB' only.  No need to connect to 'Guest Registration' first. Improved support for modern Wi-Fi standards, which gives better security and resiliency for modern equipment (e.g. laptops mobile etc).
