How do I receive Library reminders by email?
Answer
Birkbeck Students
All messages to Birkbeck students are sent by email to the contact email address on your student record. You can check this, and edit it, by logging into My Birkbeck.
Birkbeck Staff
Library messages to Birkbeck staff (except Honorary/Visiting staff) are sent to the email address on your Birkbeck staff record. To amend your contact email login to the My Birkbeck for Staff website.
Visiting members
Visiting members of the Library and Birkbeck Honorary/Visiting staff should provide an email address when they register with us. Update your email address here and click on My Account:
- Login using the barcode number (without spaces) on your Library card
- Click on Profile
- Enter your email address
- Click on the Update email address button
The changes will take effect immediately. If you need help, please contact us.
All Library users should use an address that is checked regularly, that doesn't get full, and that is able to receive messages from the Library. If our messages go into your spam folder then please edit your spam settings and add us to your approved list.
In addition to sending notification of requested items awaiting collection and overdue books, we will send a monthly statement to remind you of the items you have borrowed. We will also email you when an item you have on loan has been requested by another Library user, and will alert you if you have incurred a fine.
