Information Services (IS) activities for new students

During the Aber Welcome Week we provide a range of activities to welcome new students and introduce our services so you can make the best use of them during your time here.

We offer library tours throughout the year. Please contact our Subject Librarians to organise.

Library tours

Each tour lasts up to 30 minutes and is designed to

  • welcome you to your library and help you find your way round
  • briefly introduce you to facilities and services based in the Hugh Owen Library
  • ensure you know where to find help and support

All new students should attend one tour.

Please meet on Level D (main entrance level) of the Hugh Owen Library for your library tour: https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/discover-aberystwyth/maps-travel/maps/#service-departments/is Please arrive 10 mins before the start time of the tour that you have chosen to attend:

Intro to Library and IT services

Welcome to your online Library and IT guide for new students, this guide provides an important introduction to Library and IT services at Aberystwyth University. Please take a look and then have a go at the short quiz at the end of each section.

Subject librarians are offering Library and IT inductions as part of your department's Orientation Week programme - we look forward to meeting you then.
