The Subject LibGuides have been updated to ensure that all the links are working and all the books listed are their most recent edition, meaning they are better than ever! Each LibGuide has been tailored to a specific subject, meaning that the information is specialised to what you are looking for. This is where you can be directed to and book a meeting with your subject librarian, find out about which books you should read, referencing help, and much more! If you are struggling with referencing, assignments, or your dissertation, this is the place to go. The LibGuides are very easy to use, with clear signposting and information layout.

We wish you an enjoyable Christmas break!
This term has been busy and has passed really quickly! It’s been a great mix with online as well as face to face teaching sessions and providing support. We’ve loved being back on the Hugh Owen Level F enquiry desk, helping with many varied questions and queries.
We are here until the Thursday 22nd December, if you need any help contact us at librarians@aber.ac.uk After the break we’ll be back on the Tuesday 3rd January.
The Iris de Freitas Room is open 24/7 from 22 December – 3 January 2023
Are you staying on Campus or in Aber during the Winter vacation?
We would like to wish everyone a lovely break and look forward to helping and supporting you in 2023!
Pastures new for Connie
We are very sad to have said goodbye to a valued member of the Academic Engagement Team, Connie Davage. Connie joined our team back in 2018 and brought her wealth of experience from the Library Service Desk Team to combine this role with supporting the team wherever needed. Connie also supported the Lifelong Learning Department and will be greatly missed by all the staff in the Department.
Many colleagues across the University have been helped by Connie over the years, from Aspire Reading List support, to digitisation requests to valuable library support.
We would like to wish Connie all the best in her new librarian role at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David and thank her for being a fantastic colleague, star baker and friend to everyone in the team.

Exciting news for Information Studies students!
We’ve been subscribing to a great resource affectionately known as ‘LISA’ for many years. This resource has been invaluable to Information Studies students and staff for many years.
LISA (Library & Information Science Abstracts) helps to focus searching for international scholarly literature on library and information science. However, as suggested by the name it is an abstract service only.
We are really pleased to announce that we now have access to the ‘Library & Information Science Collection”. This new collection now searches our much loved LISA, as well as the Library Science Full Text Database.
In summary we now have over 300 full text journal titles included when you search the ‘Library & Information Science Collection’.
We wish you an enjoyable Christmas break!
We are so lucky here in Aberystwyth with lovely rolling hills and great walks. It seemed fitting for our last team meeting of the year to escape the screens and get together outside before the Christmas break with a team walk and coffee catch up at Nant yr Arian.
This term has been busy and has passed really quickly! It’s been a great mix with online as well as face to face teaching sessions and providing support. We’ve loved being back on the Hugh Owen Level F enquiry desk, helping with many varied questions and queries.
We are here until the Thursday 23rd December, if you need any help contact us at librarians@aber.ac.uk After the break we’ll be back on the Tuesday 4th January.
There will be some computer rooms and study spaces available over the Christmas break, more details can be found here: News Item : Information Services , Aberystwyth University.
We would like to wish everyone a lovely break and look forward to helping and supporting you in 2022!

Meet the Team!
Over the last 18 months we have all been working online via Teams with students and other colleagues. It was great for us as a team to finally all meet up face to face, enjoy a walk along the prom and have an outdoor meeting to help plan our activities for 2021/22 (we even had the dolphins for company!).
We are all looking forward to meeting you in the next Academic Year, and in the meantime please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need any help.
