Great to meet you all for 60th lunch today. We didn't have time for pinning any images you may have brought to noticeboard as planned. So please send them to Anoush Simon HOD [email protected] together with your memories so can be included in her 60th celebration project. Many thanks to Linda Tomos for her guest talk - as someone said - we always learn something new from Linda's presentations. For those staying on for the University reunion events have a great time

60 years of Information Studies at Aber
Did you study or work at CLW (College of Librarianship Wales), DILS (Department of Information and Library Studies) or DIS (Department of Information Studies) in Aberystwyth, any time from 1964 onwards? Help us celebrate 60 years with our reminiscence project, gathering memories and memorabilia. See https://libraryschool.aber.ac.uk/ to find out more. We’d love to hear from you.

In addition to our research project on student reminiscences of CLW, DILS and DIS, we are also holding a celebratory event to mark 60 years of information studies at Aber. Alumni may already be aware of the Aberystwyth University annual Reunion Weekend that is happening in June (info here: https://www.osaaber.org/post/osa-alumni-reunion-2025-fri-20th-sun-22nd-june and here: https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/development/newsandevents/). As a part of this event, DIS are hosting a celebration lunch for our past students and staff on Saturday 21st. All students - and staff - of CLW, DILS and DIS are welcome!
If you are planning on attending the whole Reunion Weekend (including the celebration lunch), click here to book https://tinyurl.com/3cb4jddm
Or contact/message Anoush ([email protected]) for further details about celebration lunch.

Students very much enjoyed their visit and tour of Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru | The National Library of Wales during the study school last week. Many thanks to the NLW staff. It came after the wonderful Guest Speaker presentation from Linda Tomos. Linda ended her talk showing us some items from the NLW attic - and while students did not see that - apparently some did get to visit the basement! Photo by Tanya Rogers.
