Print and audio-visual materials

The Resource Centre currently holds a wide range of print materials of interest to the classroom teacher (textbooks, games, audio-visual material, syllabi, teacher guidelines etc.). Students may borrow up to five resources at a time for periods of up to two weeks (unless otherwise stated). Resources consisting of more than one item such as language textbooks with tapes or CDs for example, although catalogued as separate items, are considered as one resource item.

Beware! Late returns incur a penalty!

Academic resources

A small number of academic materials (monographs, edited books and periodicals) are available for reference and for borrowing but students are advised of the comprehensive collection available to them in the Main Library.

Theses

Education Department M. Ed and Ph. D dating back to 1972 (?) have been catalogued and are available for consultation and loan. These are stored in a separate location. They are available for loan. Requests for specific theses should be made to a member of the resource centre staff. B.A (Adult Education) theses will be available soon.

Hardware for loan

The Centre provides a number different items of hardware for use within and outside of the university. Laptops, data projectors and digital cameras (still and video) may be borrowed from Thursday afternoon until Tuesday mornings. A €50 deposit (refundable) is required each time a one of these items is borrowed. The deposit will be retained in the case of late returns.

Interactive Whiteboard

An interactive whiteboard (Smartboard™) is situated in the Conference Room and it is available for individual and group use – call in and try out the whiteboard. Groups wishing to use the board should book in advance to ensure the room is free. Watch out for student led workshops during the year.

iMacs

A small suite of iMac computers is located in the Multi-media room. An introduction to the use of the iMacs for groups is available on request.

Satellite TV

Coming soon!

Peripherals

Webcams, microphone, headsets etc. please ask a member of staff if you require any additional hardware when using the computers.

Photocopier

Photocopy cards may be purchased from the vending machine in the Multi-media Room. Note these cards are not compatible with all photocopiers on campus.

Additional Services

Printing – There are two printers in the Multi-media room; a colour A3 and A4 printer attached to the desktop PC to the left of the room and a networked A4 (black). A nominal charge for printing is in operation in the Resource centre.
Scanning – students are free to use the scanner attached to the desktop PC in the Multi-media room.
Laminating – A4 and A3 laminating is available. A nominal fee applies due to the high cost of laminating sheets.

If you require help using any of the above services please do no hesitate to ask a member of the Resource Centre staff.
