Welcome to the Leeds Beckett Library web pages for University staff, with information about how we can support you in your role at the University.
Your staff card is also your Library card. You can borrow 30 items and most are issued for 52 weeks, but if another user requests an item you have on loan you will receive an email asking you to return it. Please see our Borrow & reserve pages for more information. We also offer a Request it! service for books or articles not held in stock.
Printers, photocopiers and scanners are available in the Library as well as in your School. Copyright guidelines are available.
Staff support for IT is provided by IT Services (0113 812 2222).
