If you are a new student at BCU you may not have been issued your BCU ID card yet.

You can still access electronic resources providing you are fully enrolled and have received your BCU email account and password. You will also need to set up multi-factor authentication: 

• Search for e-books, journals and databases via the library website 
• Visit your online subject guide for specific subject resources
• Check out our full range of online help guides
• Use our 24/7 chat service for help - ask us anything!
• Book an online tutorial with a subject specialist.
• Browse our range of frequently asked questions

Your library account is automatically created when your ID Card is printed. This account will enable you to borrow and reserve books, and request inter-library loans.

If you have any questions about accessing resources without an ID card you can Chat, email or text us.
