Welcome (back) to university! Whether you’re a new student or returning for another year, your Subject Librarian is here to help you get the best out of the library resources at Aberystwyth.  

Each department has a subject librarian (a list of them can be found here) 

Here are some of the things they can help with: 

Finding your way around the library.  

Getting to grips with the library catalogue (Primo) including: 

• Finding Books and Articles: Get help locating books, journal articles, and other materials for your work. 

• Accessing Databases: Learn how to navigate academic databases to find high-quality information. 

Understanding how to evaluate the information that you find and how to spot possible misinformation. 

Learning how to properly reference and cite your sources in various styles (APA, Harvard, MLA, etc.) 

You can schedule a one-on-one meeting with your librarian here, or you will usually find one of the team on the Level F desk on the top floor of the Hugh Owen Library between the hours of 10am and 5pm.
