Library System Upgrade - Carmarthen Campus

HIP, the Carmarthen Campus LRC catalogue, will be unavailable from Monday 28th to Wednesday 30th November inclusive due to an upgrade. All resources which would normally be due back between these dates will be due on Thursday 1st December.
 
This upgrade will also affect services on Carmarthen Campus.  Between 28th and 30th November, self-service will be unavailable and we will be unable to directly renew any resources on your account.  The LRC will be open as normal, and if you call in at the Library we can make a note of your details and renew your resources once the work is complete on Thursday 1st December.
 
WorldCat will still be available to search but please be aware details of holdings for Carmarthen Campus may be intermittent or unavailable during this period.  Services at Lampeter using the Voyager system will not be affected.

Hysbysiad pwysig: Uwchraddio System y Llyfrgell – Campws Caerfyrddin

Ni fydd HIP, catalog y CAD ar Gampws Caerfyrddin, ar gael o ddydd Llun 28 i ddydd Mercher 30 Tachwedd yn gynhwysol oherwydd gwaith uwchraddio.   Bydd yr holl adnoddau a ddylai fel arfer fod wedi cael eu dychwelyd rhwng y dyddiadau hyn bellach i fod i gael eu dychwelyd ar ddydd Iau 1 Rhagfyr. 

Bydd y gwaith uwchraddio hefyd yn effeithio ar wasanaethau ar Gampws Caerfyrddin.   Rhwng 28 a 30 Tachwedd, ni fydd y peiriant hunanwasanaeth ar gael ac ni fyddwn yn gallu adnewyddu adnoddau'n uniongyrchol ar eich cyfrif.   Bydd y CAD ar agor fel arfer, ac os galwch yn y Llyfrgell gallwn nodi’ch manylion, gan adnewyddu’r adnoddau unwaith mae’r gwaith wedi’i gwblhau ar ddydd Iau 1 Rhagfyr.

Bydd WorldCat ar gael i’w chwilio ond sylwer y gallai manylion eitemau a gedwir ar Gampws Caerfyrddin fod yn ysbeidiol neu efallai ddim ar gael yn ystod y cyfnod hwn.   Nid effeithir ar wasanaethau yn Llambed sy’n defnyddio system Voyager.

Syniadau am Anrhegion

Mae Llyfrgell ac Archifau Roderic Bowen (LlARB) yn gartref i Gasgliadau Arbennig Prifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant.

Wedi’u casglu dros y 200 mlynedd ddiwethaf, drwy gymynrodd a rhoddion yn bennaf, mae LlARB yn cynnwys mwy na 35,000 o weithiau argraffedig, 8 llawysgrif o’r Oesoedd Canol, tua 100 o lawysgrifau o’r cyfnod wedi’r Oesoedd Canol a 69 o lyfrau a argraffwyd cyn 1501. Mae deunyddiau’r Archifau yn cynnwys cofrestrau cynnar y myfyrwyr a ffotograffau o ganol y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg ymlaen.

Rydym wrthi’n datblygu amrywiaeth o anrhegion a chofroddion sydd wedi’u hysbrydoli gan y llyfrau a’r llawysgrifau, a’r Nadolig hwn rydym yn cynnig dewis o gardiau Nadolig a Chalendrau sydd ar gael yn nawr i’w prynu o Siop y Brifysgol (campws Caerfyrddin) a’r Llyfrgell (Campws Llambed).

The Roderic Bowen Library & Archives (RBLA) houses the Special Collections of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

Acquired over the last 200 years, largely by bequest and donation, the RBLA includes over 35,000 printed works, 8 medieval manuscripts, around 100 post medieval manuscripts, and 69 books printed before 1501. Material from the Archives includes the early student registers and photographs from the mid nineteenth century onwards.

Yellow Bands - new trial loan policy at Carmarthen

Following customer feedback, we will be changing our policy for yellow band (one day) loans on books at Carmarthen Campus as a trial until the end of term on 16th December.  We will now be allowing up to 2 consecutive renewals on yellow band books, which can be made online or over the telephone.  After 2 renewals, yellow band books must be returned to the desk and cannot be re-issued to the same borrower to ensure others have access.  The trial is intended to improve the service both to customers who have had difficulty returning a yellow band after one day, and also those who have experienced difficulty in accessing yellow bands because they have been re-issued multiple times to the same borrower. 

We would welcome your feedback on this trial.  If you have any comments, please email carmarthenlrc@tsd.ac.uk or fill in the form at: http://www.tsd.ac.uk/en/lrc/contactus/commentsandsuggestions/

Please note this trial only applies to books, and not DVDs or videos, and only currently applies in Carmarthen.

Bandiau Melyn – treialu polisi benthyg newydd yng Nghaerfyrddin

Yn dilyn adborth gan gwsmeriaid, byddwn yn newid ein polisi ar gyfer benthyciadau band melyn (un diwrnod) ar lyfrau Campws Caerfyrddin mewn treial tan ddiwedd y tymor ar 16eg Rhagfyr. Byddwn bellach yn caniatáu hyd at 2 adnewyddiad olynol ar lyfrau band melyn y gellir eu trefnu ar-lein neu dros y ffôn.  Ar ôl 2 adnewyddiad rhaid dychwelyd y llyfrau band melyn i’r ddesg ac, er mwyn sicrhau bod gan eraill fynediad atynt, ni cheir eu rhoi yn ôl i’r un benthyciwr. Bwriad y treial yw gwella’r gwasanaeth i gwsmeriaid sydd wedi’i chael hi’n anodd i ddychwelyd llyfr band melyn ar ôl un diwrnod, yn ogystal â’r rhai sydd wedi profi anawsterau wrth geisio cael mynediad at lyfrau band melyn oherwydd eu bod wedi eu rhoi sawl gwaith i’r un benthyciwr. 

Byddem yn croesawu’ch adborth ar y treial hwn ac os oes gennych unrhyw sylwadau a fyddech cystal ag e-bostio carmarthenlrc@tsd.ac.uk neu gwblhau’r ffurflen ar: http://www.tsd.ac.uk/en/lrc/contactus/commentsandsuggestions/

Sylwer os gwelwch yn dda bod y treial hwn ond yn cynnwys llyfrau, nid DVDau neu fideos, ac ar hyn o bryd mae’n digwydd yng Nghaerfyrddin yn unig.

Birth of modern China in massive online archive

8,000 rare photographs of Chinese life in the early twentieth century have just launched online through the Visualising China project, a unique virtual archive giving researchers new opportunities to explore and interact with images of China taken between 1850-1950.

The archive includes rare shots of the nationalist leader of China Chiang Kai-Shek among photographs taken by the Chinese ambassador to the USSR during World War Two, Fu Bingchang.

Funded by JISC, the project is a collaboration between the Web Futures team at the University of Bristol’s Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) and the Historical Photographs of China (HPC) team within the Department of Historical Studies.

MERCH PERYGL - GOMER YN CYHOEDDI DETHOLIAD O WAITH MENNA ELFYN

Yr wythnos hon, bydd Gwasg Gomer yn cyhoeddi cyfrol bwysig o waith Menna Elfyn, un o feirdd pwysicaf y Gymru fodern. Am y tro cyntaf, fe fydd y gyfrol hon yn cynnig detholiad cynhwysfawr o waith bardd sydd wedi chwarae rhan anhepgor yn natblygiad barddoniaeth am dros 35 mlynedd a mwy. Yn y gyfrol Merch Perygl ceir dros 150 o gerddi yn rhychwantu gyrfa gyfan y bardd hyd yma, o gyfrolau cynnar y saithdegau Mwyara a ‘Stafelloedd Aros, drwy’r wythdegau a’r nawdegau i gyfrolau diweddar megis y gyfrol ddwyieithog gan Bloodaxe, Perfect Blemish/Perffaith Nam a’r gyfrol ddiweddaraf gan Gomer, Er Dy Fod, yn 2007. Serch ei llwyddiant byd-eang, a gwahoddiadau di-ri i deithio’r byd i hyrwyddo cyfrolau newydd mewn ieithoedd tramor, mynna Menna Elfyn, sydd hefyd yn Gyfarwyddwr ar y cwrs gradd meistr ysgrifennu creadigol Cymraeg a Saesneg ym Mhrifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant, mai bardd Cymraeg yw hi wastad, a dyna pam fod y gyfrol hon yn golygu cymaint iddi.

GOMER PUBLISH MENNA ELFYN POETRY ANTHOLOGY

This week, Gomer will publish an important poetry anthology by Menna Elfyn, one of contemporary Wales’ most well-known poets. For the first time, this latest publication offers a comprehensive anthology of the work of a poet that has played a key role in the development of Welsh poetry over the last thirty-five years and more. The anthology, entitled Merch Perygl includes over 150 Welsh-language poems spanning the whole of the poet’s career thus far, from the early poems of the seventies including Mwyara and ‘Stafelloedd Aros, through the eighties and nineties to more recent collections such as the bilingual collection by Bloodaxe Perfect Blemish/Perffaith Nam and the latest collection by Gomer, Er Dy Fod, in 2007. Despite her worldwide success, and constant invitations to travel the world promoting new editions in foreign languages, Menna Elfyn, who is also director of the MA in Creative Writing in English and Welsh at the University of Wales Trinity Saintt David, is adamant that she is a Welsh poet first and foremost, and that’s why this book means so much to her.

Your Suggestions - Y Cwad (The Quad)

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. This month we are focussing on some of the suggestions we have received for Y Cwad.

"I think that the computer area should be for work and not to be used for social networking sites."
LRC computers are open access and while we accept that some students may be visiting social networking sites for personal use, we also recognise that many students may be using these tools to aid their study. Some students use social media to keep in contact with their tutors and fellow students or to participate in a group project, for example. It is often difficult to assess how computers are being used without invading students' individual privacy.

"More colour, e.g. pictures"
The LRC has recently introduced new signage and artwork in Y Cwad with the help of a professional signwriter, and is currently investigating the possibility of introducing artwork to the area.

"The noise level in the study / computer area is really distracting"
The main area of Y Cwad is designed to be a social learning space. We would recommend students try using the individual study places upstairs in the Library for quiet study, or one of the study rooms in Y Cwad. Although designed for group study, the study rooms can also be used for quiet study and can either be booked or used when not reserved by other students.

Eich Awgrymiadau - Y Cwad

Diolch i bawb am eich awgrymiadau. Y mis hwn rydym yn canolbwyntio ar rai o’r awgrymiadau sydd wedi dod i law ar gyfer y Cwad.

“Yn fy marn i dylai ardal y cyfrifiaduron fod ar gyfer gwaith ac nid ar gyfer gwefannau rhyngweithio cymdeithasol.”
Mae cyfrifiaduron y CAD ar gael i bawb, ac rydym yn derbyn efallai fod rhai myfyrwyr yn ymweld â gwefannau rhyngweithio cymdeithasol at eu defnydd personol, ond rydym hefyd yn cydnabod efallai fod llawer o fyfyrwyr yn defnyddio’r offer hyn yn gymorth astudio. Bydd rhai myfyrwyr yn defnyddio cyfryngau cymdeithasol i gysylltu â'u tiwtoriaid a'u cyd-fyfyrwyr, neu i gymryd rhan mewn prosiect grÿp, er enghraifft. Yn aml mae’n anodd asesu sut mae cyfrifiaduron yn cael eu defnyddio heb amharu ar breifatrwydd myfyrwyr fel unigolion.

“Mwy o liw, e.e. lluniau”
Yn ddiweddar mae’r CAD wedi cyflwyno arwyddion a gwaith celf newydd yn Y Cwad gyda help gwneuthurwr arwyddion proffesiynol, ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n ymchwilio i'r posibilrwydd o gyflwyno gwaith celf i'r ardal.

“Mae lefel y sÿn yn yr ardal astudio / cyfrifiaduron yn torri ar eich traws yn fawr”
Cynlluniwyd prif ardal Y Cwad i fod yn ardal dysgu cymdeithasol. Byddem yn argymell myfyrwyr i roi cynnig ar ddefnyddio'r lleoedd astudio unigol lan lofft yn y Llyfrgell ar gyfer astudio tawel, neu un o'r ystafelloedd astudio yn Y Cwad. Er eu bod wedi’u cynllunio i grwpiau astudio ynddynt, mae’n bosibl defnyddio’r ystafelloedd astudio ar gyfer astudio tawel hefyd, a gallwch chi eu harchebu, neu’u defnyddio pan nad yw myfyrwyr eraill wedi’u cadw.

The Census is coming!

As Census.ac.uk , part of the ESRC's Census Programme, researchers can get a one-stop shop registration for aggregate statistics, microdata, interaction data, digitised boundary data and longitudinal datasets. The programme currently supports 1971 - 2001 data, but hopes to provide access to data from the 2011 Census once it has been released by the Government's statistical agencies.
