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.

Cuairt Scoil Neasain inniu

Tá rang a trí ó Scoil Neasain, Baile Harmain, i dteannta a múinteoir Niamh Nic Roibéard, ag tabhairt cuairt ar an leabharlann inniu. Buailfidh siad le scríbhneoirí Ríona Nic Congáil agus Áine Ní Ghlinn - beirt a léifidh saothar leo os ard.

Bhí Saol an Mhadra Bháin le Ríona ar ghearrliosta do leabhar Gaeilge na bliana do dhaoine óga i 2012 (Gradam Réics Cárlos).

Tá réimse leathan scríbhneoireachta déanta ag Áine, do aois-ghrupaí éagsula. Beidh sí i gceannas leis ar cheardlann filíochta leis na páistí - cumfaidh na páistí dán dá gcuid féin.

 Tosnóidh sé sa leabharlann ag méan lae - fáilte roimh chách.


 Today, children from 3rd class in Scoil Neasain, Harmondstown are coming to visit the Library with their teacher Niamh Nic Roibéard. They will meet writers Ríona Nic Congáil and Áine Ní Ghlinn who will read some of their work aloud.

Ríona's wonderful book Saol an Mhadra Bháin was shortlisted for the Irish Language Book of the Year
Award for Young People (Gradam Réics Cárlos) in 2012.

Áine, who has written extensively for all age groups, will also facilitate a poetry workshop with the children and they will compose a poem together.

 This event will take place in the Library at 12 noon and all are welcome to attend.
