Meet your Academic Services Librarian #1

This term we will do a series of posts introducing you to the members of the Academic Services Team. We'll start with the Academic Services Manager and Law Librarian. Take it away Lillian...

Lillian Stevenson
I have been working in Information Services and the Library at Aberystwyth University for a fair few years and like a lot of people studied at Aber too.

Sources For Courses: Primo (Part 1)

Of all the resources the University subscribes to, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll be using Primo right from the start of your degree.

As the library catalogue, Primo gives Aberystwyth University students details on all items in the University libraries, as well as a vast range of online databases to further your research. It also acts as the access point for your library account, enabling you to view and renew loans, pay your fines and request books from our External Store.

Finding a book in the library

Here's our new video that gives you a step by step guide to finding the book you need.

Sources For Courses: House of Commons Parliamentary Papers

Whether you’re studying Politics, Law, History, or are simply curious about the inner workings of Parliament, you’ll find a wealth of information to fuel your research at the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers database (HCPP).

Free to all Aberystwyth University students and staff, HCPP provides users with an extensive database of Parliamentary Papers, spanning from 2004 all the way back to 1688. You’ll find documents that have shaped the way Britain is governed, including bills that have been discussed in both the Houses of Commons and Lords before being made into legislation.
