Graduate Research in the Library – Special Sessions for Irish Studies
Three library classes will be offered this semester, designed for graduate students, but useful for anyone who wishes to update their knowledge of the Irish studies library collections and digital resources.
Paricipants are welcome to attend any or all classes – they are independent of each other, with little overlap.
These one-hour classes in the Hesburgh Library are taught by Aedín Clements, the Irish Studies Librarian.
Session 1: Irish Studies Collections for Graduate Research.
An overview of Irish special collections – rare books, manuscripts and ephemera. This will inform you of resources for your research, and it will also help you to understant how the Special Collections can be used for your scholarship.
