The Digital Library
The Digital Library provides access to resources in the Library's collections which are available electronically. The collection includes:
- DISCOVER, which allows you to search most of the electronic resources and the library catalogue simultaneously (see this list for information on the databases not covered)
- over 100,000 electronic journals (ejournals)
- over 100 databases supporting the subject areas of the university's curriculum
- over 100,000 electronic books (ebooks)
- past examination papers
- undergraduate and taught post graduate dissertations
- all of the university's PhD and research masters theses via the University's repository.
The Digital Library means you have access to key resources to support your learning 24/7, it doesn't matter where you are - on campus, at home or overseas, articles, books and databases are just a click away.
We will post news and updates about Digital Library resources to the Digital Library blog and on Facebook and Twitter.
If you have any problems or queries contact us at library.technical@beds.ac.uk.
