Facilities Available to Students :
Language Resource Centre :
Located in the Hugh Owen Building B Floor, these high quality full multimedia facilities are used both for teaching and for private study. All students have 24-hour access to the LRC. In addition to access to teaching materials, both audio and video, and to Internet resources. The PCs provide also access to satellite TV from France, German, Italian, Spanish live channels. Catalogue of the the multimedia collection can be consulted on line or by arrangement with the LRC technician in room B7.
Honours Workroom and computer facilities :
Students in the Department have access (during normal working hours) to a dedicated room containing both computer terminals (with full network access) and a range of language reference works. Conveniently situated within the Department (Hugh Owen Building C floor), this is an ideal spot in which to work between classes, or simply as an alternative to the Library.
Newspapers and Periodicals :
The Department subscribes to a number of French, German, Italian, Spanish papers and periodicals. These are available in the departmental concourse, Hugh Owen Building D Floor. After several weeks these are normally tranferred to the reading room in the main Hugh Owen Library (the University Library).
Hugh Owen Library (the University Library) :
Modern languages have been taught in Aberystwyth since 1874, and as a result, the Library has an extensive range of books and academic periodicals in all the languages which we teach. Departmental library allocations in Aberystwyth are generous, and the Department has consciously sought to ensure that the collections within our research and teaching interests are strong and up to date. The Library also houses substantial numbers of computer work stations, with access to networked printers, scanners, and image processing software. And as its name suggests, it is part of the Hugh Owen Building, so it’s just along the corridor.
