Competition! Name the new CUA Institutional Repository and win a Kindle!

 The Connacht Ulster Alliance (GMIT, IT Sligo and Letterkenny IT) will launch their new Institutional Repository in February and is looking for a catchy name. An institutional repository is a digital collection of work by staff and students of an institute. This usually includes journal articles, conference reports, theses and dissertations. The new name could be an acronym, like NUIG’s Access to Research At NUI Galway (ARAN) or Trinity’s Access to Research Archive (TARA). The competition is open to the students and staff of all the CUA institutes. The closing date is Wednesday 19th February 2014 - send your entries to conry.siobhan@itsligo.ie. Good luck!

Archaeology Ireland

The winter issue of Archaeology Ireland features an article by Dr Marion Dowd (School of Science) on the contribution of non-archaeologists to the field of archaeology, in particular that of Jack Coleman.
Coleman, from Co. Cork, was an avid caver for nearly forty years and his field notes and research are of great importance for Irish Speleology and archaeology.
The article is available from Archaeology Ireland, Winter 2013, vol.27 no.4 on display in  the Science journals shelving area of the Information Zone.
