The Library: University Staff

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 Borrowing pages for more information. We also offer a Reservations service.

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).

Each School has a team of Academic Librarians who are your main contacts within Library Services. They also create subject guides which highlight the key resources for each subject. Please email them for advice on any of the topics on these pages.

Karen Fisher, Catherine Parkin, Maria Simoes and Jennie Winterburn are the Academic Librarians for:

• School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing
• Leeds Business School
• Leeds Law School
• Leeds School of Arts

Amber Edwards, Rachel Davies, Jess Haigh and Caroline Robinson are the Academic Librarians for:

• Carnegie School of Education
• Carnegie School of Sport and Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management
• School of Health
• School of Humanities and Social Sciences

Associate staff have the same rights as general staff to access Library services, resources and systems such as the University network, email, MyBeckett and Skills for Learning. Access is only for the period that you are performing a role equivalent to University staff.

If you require temporary access to the University network for a group of students or visitors, the Library Advice and Support Service team can issue temporary logins. To request these, please email LLILASSTeamCity@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

Please specify:

• The number of logins 
• The dates required
• The reason for the request (e.g. placement student, visiting lecturer, etc.)

Please remember that the temporary logins you request are your responsibility and you should ensure that all visitors using them are made aware of our Use of Computers Policy.
