French Language Display

To celebrate Journée internationale de la francophonie on Thursday 20th March this year, a small taster of our French language collection is on display in the Library.

After a quick stop at our exhibition of simple vocabulary books, exercises and stories for children in French (many of which were donated by Dr. John Killeen), we encourage you to venture further - to our rich collection of classic French literature on the shelves at 841-843.

World Book Day '14 Display

There is currently a small exhibition in the Library to support the Education for a Just World Partnership's triple book launch on World Book Day, Thursday 6th March.

Come see sample books from our Junior Library that bring themes of global community, human rights and citizenship to children...

Also check out folders in our LibraryThing account for more titles that promote ethics re: social/global responsibility and justice (the login is StPatsJLibrary / farmerduck).

Bradaíl!

We strongly recommend you have a look at UCD Library’s new Irish language version of their excellent tutorial on Avoiding Plagiarism: Bradaíl: Seachain í thar aon rud eile!.

This is the first Irish language open educational resource (OER) plagiarism tutorial. All translation and narration was kindly provided by Bord na nGaeilge, UCD.

The tutorial can be viewed here in Irish and here in English.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Next week the College will celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge and the following week from 20-22 February it will host the conference Litríocht na Gaeilge ar fud an Domhain. 

So, to mark and salute both occasions, a display of Irish language literature and the world is taking up quite a bit of room in the Library foyer!

 

  Come visit and see!

Library Conduct

Exam time can be a stressful period for students.  Please show consideration your fellow students while in the Library by keeping noise levels to a minimum at all times. 

Also, if you must leave the Library for longer than ten minutes we ask that you take your belongings with you.  On request we may remove belongings from unattended desks so as to free up spaces for other students.

Extra January Hours

To help students during exam time, the Library will stay open later than normal on Friday and Saturday this week.

On Friday Jan 10th we are open until 10pm.

On Saturday Jan 11th we are open until 5pm.

For our full opening hours check our website.

Best of luck to all those taking exams this month.
